Successful Executive professional with 20 years of experience within the
Technical and Customer Service disciplines. My career encompassed the

Organizations of the Latam Division. I was the Owner and President for a
Meeting Consultants company. Currently I am a private investor who seeks

making a small to medium business prosper in these challenging times.
