“Daniel is a focused,
no-nonsense marketing and sales professional, with a
sharp eye for business development and opportunities.
I met him in Canada, where he identified a need: to
detail and disseminate a variety of opportunities
between Brazil and Canada that weren't immediately
apparent. He spent months preparing a stellar report
for then Ontario Business Development Minister Frances
Lankin - a document that
to this day serves as a benchmark in that ministry for
similar studies on binational trade and business
relations. Daniel is a go-getter and not finishing a
project is an alien concept to him. I recommend him
wholeheartedly and without hesitation.” - Adhemar
Altieri, Corporate Communications
Director at UNICA
