Manuel and I worked together in strategy, acquisitions planning and execution. As a member of my team, he worked in the most significant projects we did. The ability to perform under pressure and to develop trust-based relationships across company functions, ranks and geographies are Manuel’s most salient qualities. He is also a good listener and process-oriented yet flexible to accommodate other team member’s constrains. This and his will to help others, even when outside of his scope of work, has gained him many friends in the company. It also resulted in successful management of complex programs like the synergies delivery linked to our acquisition of Loders Croklaan. Finally, he cares about others’ success which made him a good manager of project team members without the need for a reporting line. In summary, due to his skills and personal qualities, I enjoyed having Manuel as a colleague and as a high-performing member of my team.

Whether as a consultant or as an employee, Manuel is fantastic team player who gets outstanding results. I have worked for four years with Manuel at Bunge in the Corporate Development team where I was leading Corporate M&A and I was always amazed how resourceful Manuel was: whether it is financial analysis, valuation, strategy, operations or understanding corporate functions, Manuel is the full deal. Working with Manuel is no different from playing soccer with him, he is a pleasure to work with, knows his stuff and has the team's best interest at heart so you clearly want him on your team. Later on, I have also hired Manuel as consultant for post transaction work and same experience here, he goes above and beyond to accomplish the goals of the organization or project he has been assigned. As a true leader, he motivates others to achieve their best.
