O Rui é um líder nato e um excelente mentor. Foi meu chefe durante 3 anos. O Rui é resiliente, auto-confiante e está sempre motivado, liderando pelo exemplo. Cria e mantém com facilidade relações de proximidade e confiança com clientes, funcionários e fornecedores, razão pela qual tem uma rede de contatos muito vasta. Sou-lhe muito grata pelos ensinamentos transmitidos e recomendo o Rui para qualquer posição de liderança.
