I had the pleasure to work with Sergio in the John Crane Middle East head office in Dubai. Sergio is very efficient at what he does, has a sound technical knowledge and professional attitude. He has worked in various departments within the company which brought him a great wealth of experience in the fields, and facing the customer. I think he has a great potential for sales and management positions. I wish him the best of luck
