Ricardo is extremely skilled and well educated in the world of finance and administration having studied at the Universidad Javeriana, but also because he has successfully worked in leadership and management with a range of leading Colombian and international companies. Ricardo has a very considerate and respectful personality, he is extremely well organised and he is very much proactive and aware of his working environment. Whilst working with me, I found him to be articulate including in the English language. Ricardo balanced the necessity of being a demanding yet always professional leader in a very challenging environment as we were in the middle of the Covid – 19 crisis. He was always loyal and courteous, whatever the project, and indeed, he was very thoughtful with his critical analysis and planning. Throughout our work together there were never any issues with Ricardo’s professionalism, the quality of his work, leadership and management behaviour or his attendance. He is and was the consummate professional.

Ricardo Castaño with extensive experience as Administration and Finance Manager. He stands out in the Comptroller's area as one of his strengths since he knows the Accounting Principles in an important way, with a strong orientation in Policies, Norms, and Procedures, being the Internal Control area very important for his management. Also, he is outstanding in the execution of his functions in the Treasury area which he manages impeccably. Likewise, the General Accounting area and issuance of Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS and US-GAAP standards, constitute areas for him of impeccable performance, complying very efficiently with the corresponding reporting dates according to the established calendars. He handles the planning, budgeting and estimating processes in the short and medium-term very efficiently.
