“I have known Ricardo Nunes as both a friend and work colleague for many years. He has always impressed me with his ability to rise to any challenge in a business environment and then meet those challenges head-on with a very level and productive business sense. In his time working with us at Michael Bastian he also demonstrated a very finely tuned understanding of marketing, sales and the importance of social networking as it applies to our business. He is a natural networker with excellent interpersonal skills, self-motivated and strategically analytical. I also feel any discussion of his abilities would be lacking if it didn’t also highlight what an overall-wonder person he is who becomes an invaluable member of any team immediately.”
