Ricardo Santos

I started my studies in Business Management for 5 years until conclusion of my first year in Management
Master's.
I consider myself as someone who fits in quite well in any environment or team. I adapt easily to the most
random situations and people. I like people and to understand them.
I believe I'm a dynamic person, who's able to control his work/role, suggesting ideas for improvements and
better performance in the expertise area.
On the personal side, I'm a perfect normal person, I'm a happy person and family is the most important
thing for me, alongside with my friends.
I like sports in general, music and food. I like to learn about things that excites me.
