“Luis is the kind of person you can’t say “no” to. His enthusiasm is capturing, his tenacity unheard of, his big heart makes you want to join his cause. The culture he builds is that of high trust and high standards, very empowering and collaborative. In the time we worked together, I always had room at the table. I was given the space to grow, and the expectation to take ownership and excel, I was encouraged to give feedback and speak up. On top of all that, Luis is just a fun person to be around, and I hope we get to work together again!”
