What Others Say...

Resume Line.png

"He has helped lead advance our organizational project management capabilities, contributing significantly to creation of a project management playbook that codifies our knowledge, systems, and processes and has helped standardize our approach."

"Armando is great at identifying trends, discrepancies, and any potential future problems. Armando is perhaps best at creating easy to understand action plans that mitigate or resolve current issues and any potential problems he has identified."

​"Armando also impressed with his desire to optimize the customer experience. He identified that the organization's Medical Needs process required modernization. He outlined an updated procedure and collaborated with the technical team to align the systematic process. Even though the client was resistant to the change at first, they ultimately saw how Armando's proposed process would not only improve the customer experience, but would also reduce the number of steps involved, saving both the customer and the organization time."
