Prof. Raphael Albergarias, PhD, IPMA-A

“I met Raphael 3 years ago when I decided to obtain my first project management certification from IPMA. I chose the IPMA methodology because its approach was more in line with what I considered to be good project management practices in Brazil. After that, we had several discussions about how IPMA could help ELETROBRAS FURNAS improve its project performance and enhance the efficiency of the PMO at Furnas. Raphael was responsible for the strategic guidance, presented many ideas to achieve our goals, and I was able to learn how high-level executives develop their action plans. I even considered compiling these insights into an e-book—I'm joking, haha. In summary, at the end of the process, ELETROBRAS FURNAS certified more than 33 employees in project management (IPMA-BR, IPMA-D, IPMA-C, and IPMA-B), won the PMO Brazil of the Year award promoted by PMI-SP, and achieved the IPMA Delta certification, becoming the first company in the Americas to receive the highest distinction in project portfolio governance. Raphael has a keen mind for developing and executing business strategies, and I am grateful for having shared and experienced this moment.”
