Luis and I worked together on a project to represent US companies in Argentina. He's a real expert on doing business in Latin America and took the lead on assembling a great team to carry the project forward. One of his special skills is being able to act as the bridge between Latin American and US business cultures. I recommend Luis for those searching for a marketing expert on Latin America.
Luis was a real pleasure to work with at Corsair (later Lightbridge). One of the things I admired the most about his work was his dedication to always giving his absolute best to any project – no matter how large or small. His care for each individual coupled with his depth of understanding of both the U.S. and Latin American markets make him both an outstanding professional and a delightful person to know.
