I worked with Sergio while he was with HNS Banco and was extremely impressed with both his professionalism and skill set. He was an integral member of the team and consistently produced high quality material under intense time pressures. He exhibited a broad range of financial skills demonstrating both his business and technical strengths. Sergio is a great team member and a pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Sergio during a divestiture transaction in Chile. Sergio is an extremely intelligent and resourceful individual who works with the highest of integrity. Our transaction would not have gone as favorable had it not been for Sergio's involvement. He was able to handle the day to day initiatives while still keeping perspective on the strategic goals.
