“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.”

“... Ricardo, in a brilliant self-made career as a project manager, professor, speaker and business consultant, has built a world-class brand and associating his name with the project management discipline. 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. He is incontestably an effective reference for this subject. For me, besides that, he's still the same simple guy I met years ago. I am very proud to see how a man, overcoming himself and from an early start, can build a new path for him and all of us. Thank you, Ricardo. Thank you, old friend. and go ahead!…"”
