While working in Halliburton in my role as Development Lead, I managed 8 people. The Venezuelan political situation was critical negatively. I manage to maintain the group confidence and help them through the daily changes. New opportunities abroad for all the personal in temporal projects was the alternative solution instead of laying off.

While working in Ameriven (JV), the company at the time had a software (Corporate) they were not using and there was a need to organize production data in order to effectively see results and trends. I manage to create a project to analyse all the market competition of the software in order to acquire an user friendly option. Despite the bias towards the one in house that nobody was using

While working in Schlumberger I was the country expert of a production software. I manage to support the corporate sales of it to the National Oil company and train in house people. I tailored examples, created Spanish templates and strategies to effectively teach that personnel in order to multiply the knowledge.

Trained National Oil company groups all over the country. After 2 years of absence I was called by name to deliver the trainings

High experience with customer service, follow up, creating bonds and understanding their needs.
