Like happens in other startups, he was responsible for various tasks from different areas, which also allowed him to expand knowledge and acquire new skills. João is a dedicated and accomplished person, that always bring new great ideas to the project. His experience in different areas, such as health, management, finance, marketing, and sales, brings a great advantage for a company. He is also a very fast learner, a person with a special taste to detail and a real dedicated worker. It's common sense that company’s success is made by people and that’s why it is so important to have a person like João working in our team. If his performance in my previous contact is any indication of how he would perform in the available position, João will be an extremely positive contribution to your organization, and that’s why I strongly recommend him. If you need any additional information, feel free to contact me at any time. Sincerely, Ana Roseira Nutritionist at Eurest Compass Group
