Cesar Urrea
Leonor’s attention to details is something that you immediately notice when you first start working with her. She was part of the Subcontract Administration team for the Termozulia II Project, where I was the Site Manager and it was clear to me all the potential this young professional had to enhance her future career in this area of the business. Everything she handled had the guarantee of her diligent dedication which assured me that all the information involved was certain and confirmed. This characteristic, as well as her devotion and capability to keep all the records updated and in order, made her performance as subcontract administrator a very reliable support to conduct successful relationships with every subcontractor she had under her responsibility.
