Javier García Monedero

He tenido la suerte de haber trabajado con José Ramón en los últimos dos años. Es dificil encontrar profesionales en innovación que dominen multiples sectores y con visión de hacia donde va el mercado y las tendencias tecnológicas, puntos éstos clave para optimizar nuestras organizaciones. "Jota" es una persona con una formación y experiencia, nacional e internacional, destacable. En los proyectos en los que hemos colaborado siempre ha dipuesto una actitud proactiva y perfeccionista. Tiene una gran capacidad de análisis, mucho rigor y honestidad en todo lo que dice, sin descuidar unas buenas habilidades sociales y de liderazgo, que muchas veces escasean en perfiles como el suyo.

José is a pleasure to work with due to his hard working, dedicated and yet friendly approach. He is able to learn the skills necessary to get stuck into the work as quickly as possible and manage priorities. A team player who is always willing to help with new projects.
