“I had the pleasure of working with Carlos during our time at Eaton Hydraulics. He is knowledgeable, self-motivated and drives results via the teams he works with. He provided improved learning for my team which I’m sure helped them in their future careers, but also operational results to support our move to Model Plant Status. To senior executives out there, if you provide this guy the right environment, the results will swiftly follow. Hope to work with you again Carlos!”
