Tive o privilégio de trabalhar o Rafael na OLX, logo quando houve a fusão da OLX com o Bom Negócio. Ele já liderava o time de publicidade no Bom Negócio e eu fazia parte do time de Marketing. Pouco tempo depois passei a integrar a sua equipe. O Rafael marcou muito positivamente minha carreira, não só pelo vasto conhecimento técnico que possui, mas também pela pessoa alegre que é. Ele é muito atento às pessoas, entende o valor delas e está sempre disposto a ajudar e desenvolver. Tem uma visão estratégica importante e e criar parcerias com muita facilidade. É movido por resultados mas não a qualquer custo, se preocupa com o crescimento sustentável. Ele me ensinou muito e sou enormemente grato por isso.

Tive o privilégio de trabalhar com o Rafa na Calcard/Ouze. Um líder excelente, humano, com muito conhecimento e focado em resultados. Aprendi muito durante o nosso tempo juntos e com certeza é uma inspiração, não só pra mim, mas para todos que trabalham com ele.
