Bio
EDUARDO G.
I worked jointly with Marius managing Sowitec Peru and its wind and solar projects pipeline, we worked together in the managing of the company staff, developing the projects and dealing with potential investors. I consider Marius, not only a great person, but also a great professional, his attitude and approach in front of multicultural teams was always very constructive and fruitful allowing to overcome difficulties and making cooperation much more efficient. Marius´ knowledge and experience doing business was always as well very enriching, and he is a person always very enthusiastic in sharing experience and knowledge. Definitively, Marius would be a highly valuable acquisition as human resource, for any company interested in developing business in new markets like Latin America.

I have had the honor of working with Marius since I took over the position of Managing Director / SOWITEC Argentina. In his Portfolio Manager role, Marius has been instrumental in the success of the country in bringing wind and solar projects to the ready-to-tender stage as well as in the awarding of PPAs under the RenovAr renewable energy tender process implemented by the Argentinean Ministry of Energy. Marius is a pro-active, flexible, and self-motivated professional who aligned with the business objectives and growth plan goes beyond his core responsibilities in supporting the Argentinean Project Management and Administration teams liaising with the different teams at SOWITEC’s central office in Sonnenbühl, Germany. Marius’ mix of wind and solar development experience, multi-language skills and international experience, ability to build rapport with his colleagues, and top and bottom-line acumen, make him an outstanding professional and someone with whom working become a joy.
