“I have known Ricardo Viana Vargas since 1996, he is very intelligent, energized and enthusiastic, trying to succeed in a subject called "Project Management". At that time, some people talked a lot about the topic, some of them said they used project management, but the vast majority (including me) did not have a clear idea about the subject.”

Nowadays, project management professionals from all over the world and anyone who takes project management seriously, know the name of this friendly, talented, strongly committed to advancing business results, including large global companies.
