        Not only is Alvaro an effective leader and very skilled at his various roles, but he’s just one of those people that you wish you could work with all the time because of his proficiency and character. Alvaro’s cool yet cheerful demeanor, especially in the face of pressure, is a calming influence and an effective leadership trait.  I’ve often been impressed with his ability to lead multiple projects at the same time as well as his capacity to manage adversity.  His outstanding project management skills including his follow-through, persistence and effective leadership abilities, will serve him and everyone he works with in the future well.

        I worked with Alvaro for over 3 years at AES during this time he was instrumental in leading the SAP Finance module for our North America Wind Portfolio, later on he was our Technology Leader for the Global Outsourcing Program which helped reduce costs and streamline our financial and accounting processes. He has the right instincts and leadership to understand both the details and the big picture. Alvaro is action oriented and has a strong understanding of accounting and finance functions and how technology can add value to an organization. I would not hesitate to recommend Alvaro.  
Brilliant!
