Dear Sir/Madam:

My ex-bosses usually say that I am a hard-working, goal-focused, positive, dependable, creative professional, “with an uncanny ability to see behind the obvious”.  I have the energy to deliver the results expected regardless of the stress of the situation. My extensive academic and diversified professional background allow me to be very knowledgeable in most aspects of business activities.  I am stimulated by challenges and difficult situations, sense opportunities and risks, and use advanced problem-solving and innovating skills.

Over the years I gradually built a disciplined but creative mind, which allowed me to build a successful professional history of reaching key goals and delivering all requested achievements in a planned and controlled fashion.  I use to create reliable innovations based in my solid academic foundation and broad hands-on experience dealing with diverse large national and international EPCM capital and turnaround projects for leading corporations. Brainstorming these solutions has allowed me to meet client’s expectations, report properly to effectively coordinate key activities, guide and empower highly qualified team members, and manage contractors.

Throughout my career I have earned a reputation of being a nice leader, trusted colleague and mentor within cross-functional international teams. I also apply the latest software technical developments to improve processes and methods, and facilitate team efforts to surpass challenges by brainstorming feasible automated solutions and effectively coordinating key activities. After dozens of years of work I became a civil engineer who is an expert in all Program/Project Controls and Strategic Financial Planning & Control fields. They include Strategic Planning, Activity Planning, Master Scheduling, Risk Mgt & Analysis, Financial Control & Analysis, Estimating, Budgeting, Performance Evaluation and Forecasting, Cost Mgt, Change Mgt. and QA/QC.

I have full fluency in English, Portuguese and Spanish.  I live South of Houston, and am looking forward meeting you. If you need piece of mind look no further.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Luiz Claudio V. Cruz
