“Nelson is an outstanding professional and talented manager. His ability to size up a situation is extraordinary, but equally, if not more important, is his ability to respond decisively always finding the best solution for the challenges. It is also rare to find a person who has great technical strengths that are matched by people skills, knowing how to deliver top level results. I found Nelson to be an exemplary charismatic leader who created win-win situations for all the people he worked with, he’s always showing calm and a clear vision of the job to be done and how to do it with a six sigma approach. He has skills from Safety to Health care, from Security to Investigation with a critical eye to details and always following the rules. I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with Nelson again in a future.” Linkedin, September 6, 2010

“As a Starwood colleague, I worked with Nelson for ten years and what I can say is that he is a structured, competent, focused and very passionate security director, that likes to works in team and by objectives (also by taking advantage of the Six Sigma Tools & Methodologies). Together we accomplished several Regional/National projects (not only in the health/safety & security but also in the charity arenas) and in addition to that he was always supportive of the purchasing function. Actually, he maintains that security is a cross organizational activity that to be effective must cooperate closely with the other relevant functions (see for instance emergency/crisis preparation and response). On the whole, Nelson is a very professional security director and a great team player; for that reason I have no doubts in recommending him and his works.” Linkedin, September 5, 2010
