I had the pleasure of working with Manuel for two years at Global Voices, collaborating on several projects. Manuel’s ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of the company. No matter how tense a meeting, Manuel always made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Manuel earns my highest recommendation.

I have worked with Manuel for almost three years, and we have worked together on several joint projects. He is one of the most result-focused sales-persons I have ever met. Punctual, reliable, precise and sharp, he always plays to win, and he’s also a superb team leader. If you are looking for a skilled and smart sales-man, he’s the right person for your team.
