Gonzalo and I worked together in several kaizen projects at Iveco trucks, he is an smart talented leader with brilliant solutions and ideas for improvements, I was always impressed with his commitment and positive attitude towards his work! Any employee would be lucky to have him!

Edoardo Bozzola

Gonzalo is a smart and hard working person, good team player and able to focus on the task on hand. After spending one year in Materials Management, during which he was patient learning a whole new skillset managing MRP, I moved him to the newly created role of Logistics Engineer for the plant and his amazing passion for the job immediately made him shine.
