Recommendations

  • Tarcisio Ribeiro, Senior Director - Business Development and Strategic Monetization Partnerships, Diego has excellent knowledge of finance, accounting, and budgeting but above all, Diego was an excellent business partner for my organization.

Diego added value to the whole process by understanding our business goals and strategies, and proactively approaching me raising concerns or suggestions if he saw that our financial metrics were deviating.
