Fernando is one of the most knowledgeable and effective resources I have come across in my +20yrs at MSFT. Your approach and structured working style keeping Team on point for the multitude of tasks and approvals it takes is SUPER. VERY few can accomplish this.

Fernando has a can do attitude. Even on areas outside of his remit, he has leaned in to support the team. Fernando was and continues to be one of my go-to resources for challenges, struggles and wins. On a personal level, Fernando is a joy to work with.

Fernando and I are on the same page 99% of the time, which makes it really easy to work through issues when they arise. He is a very collaborative partner and is genuinely interested in coming up with acceptable solutions to very difficult challenges, often in extremely tight timelines.

Fernando, your knowledge is widely known as exemplary. You decreased risk on every deal and injected clarity at the same time. You always took the time to explain your conclusions. I learned a tremendous amount from you this year.

Fernando is always very focused on quality and very detail-oriented. What I particularly like about his working style is that — where a lot of the points he raises could be taken personally by the people creating a solution — he always comes with a steady, collaborative approach, makes his point, and provides a fix. And he does all of this without ruffling feathers.

Fernando drives a strong focus on how best we can improve programs on an ongoing basis. He is a highly collaborative leader and his focus on driving success is clear. His experience leading large programs in a high-quality manner helps programs like GM & Cruise deliver in the right direction. His suggestions are strong and he continues to evolve the models to be useful. Working with him is very positive!

I really appreciate your ability to see the bigger picture as it relates to customer projects and opportunities while also managing details at a granular level. This has helped our pursuit teams keep momentum through complex deals, stay focused on the end goal, and drive deals to closure successfully. You effectively communicate project risks and challenges to executive approval boards while keeping customer outcomes at the center — creating a balanced conversation that gives our leaders confidence.
