Particular Attributes:
Member of the Rotary Club of Pinhal, São Carlos-SP, Brazil for 10 years.
During the last 25 years I was directly responsible for the Management of the Research and Development Department (R & D) of Metallic Materials and Special Alloys resistant to High Temperatures, directed mainly to the Chemical, Petrochemical, Petroleum and Nuclear Refineries Industries.
For 5 years I was the Manager of the QMS, based on international standards ISO 9001, AD-Merkblatt WO and CE Directives.
I have ample knowledge of Standards and Technical Specifications of general materials, engineering and manufacturing, special processes (welding and heat treatments), Inspections, testing and testing of products and equipment for industries in general, and specifically in the areas of petroleum, natural gas and petrochemical.
My concepts emphasize the professional growth of employees, the narrowing of technical-commercial relations and partnerships with clients and suppliers, the pursuit of ethics in human relations and dealing with environmental issues, and fundamentally the pursuit of goals, targets and financial results by the Company's partners.
