Bio
Julie Eason
I'm a fundraising consultant who was introduced to Raphael and the team at Alice via one of my clients. I am now a huge advocacte of their platform and work, and have found the team under Raph's leadership to be incredibly talented, as well as genuinely brilliant to work with. I can unreservedly recommend Raphael and the team at Alice.
Maria Victoria Labandeira
It has been a unique opportunity to work with Raphael. He was able to accomplish in a short period of time what few could, turn the Brazil office into a fully operational subsidiary in two years, building a team from zero, getting new clients and constructing the identity and organizational culture of the company. He set the standard for the rest of the region by securing new business not only locally but regionally. Raphael was my mentor for one year and I had the opportunity to learn from his openness, leadership skill, ability of targeting and winning prospective clients, and of developing solid, creative, out of the box corporate relations and digital and social media strategies. He is an innate entrepreneur who sees challenges as motivation and who can envision where he would like the company to be and achieve it within less time than expected. We had the chance to work side by side during his time as Country Manager of the Mexico office, where he led the team to further growth, helping increase the number of retained clients in more than 25% percent in just under 6 months. He led the team with his unique style of ensuring accountability and commitment to results. I am sure that Raphael is a great addition to any team he is asked to lead and I would be happy to recommend him.
