Roberto started the Bosch PV business in Chile (and South America) with me. The playground was vast. He understood the market very fast and nailed down concrete and successfull tasks to fulfill the customer`s needs in very short notice ..... customer focus all the time. He formed and lead a very motivated and dedicated team. Was big fun to accompany an entrepreneur in a different cultural setup......I learned a lot. If you intend to hire Roberto for whatever task you have..... right choice. Cheers, Stefan
