I met Gustavo when we were taking our BSME studies and afterwards we also finished our Degree in Machine Design and Industrial maintenance. He is a committed professional characterized by his focus on getting things done and his attention to details. He has an outstanding ability to interact with people and propose fresh ideas to solve complex problems. I have no reserve to recommend him for any operational, project or design managerial position.
