Summary

Perspectiva Business Consulting can bring you the top-notch skills your project needs, and when it needs it.

I bring almost 20 years of experience as corporate executive and management consultant. I have worked in corporations such as Brahma Brewing (Inbev), Miller Brewing Company, Cargill and Rexnord Industries. In consulting, I have worked at Booz & Company for four years, recently as a job manager.

If the project requires, I can also assemble at team of specialists to cover pretty much any business issue. For that , I can tap into a large professional network of 400 people, developed over during my career in North and Latin America.

About Us

Profile Type: Business
Year Founded: 2005
Number of Employees: 9 or fewer
After several years as consultant I realized some things:

- When it comes to problems in managing a firm's operations, clients want specific knowledge and experience

- Executives seem to prefer to talk with consultants with industry and functional experience, who can help to decide on implementation strategies, instead someone who can only provide conceptual solutions

- To solve project problems or hone final recommendations, I reached out to my own network most of the times

That is why Pespectiva Consulting was founded - to provide clients the same skills and experience, without the overhead and price tag that comes with the big names.
