        Working with Alejandro during my time at IGG was a pleasure and yielded so many learning opportunities. I worked parallel to Alejandro’s international team while on the English Castle Clash and Lords Mobile project. During my time on those projects our teams were able to work collaboratively, swapping ideas and improving each other’s work flow for a harmonious updates in both games.   I witnessed Alejandro lead the international team to consistent quarterly success, directing them how to work smarter and close inefficiency gaps. Alejandro took initiative to create and implement a new system for handling customer service tickets by collaborating with developers in our HQ office and looking for solutions to workflow inefficiencies. A good leader doesn’t wait for change, he makes it, and Alejandro has always been integral to change in our office.  Alejandro relentlessly worked overtime with teams overseas (large time difference) to ensure both teams could be on the same page and discuss upcoming goals and potential issues. Alejandro would then plan how to best handle these with his team while offering solutions and feedback from consumer social listening.   Alejandro has consistently exemplified what it means to be not only a dependable people manager, but also a fierce leader. I trust he will succeed in any leadership role wherever he goes.

        Alejandro is one of the most hard working person I've met. He is dedicated to his task and result-oriented. He goes to the maximum to get the job done. Not satisfied with that he also knows how to lead his team for better performances and keep them together as one force.
He will also bring ideas to succesfully improve SOPs, workload and even the softwares.
Friendly and with a big heart, he is definitely someone you want work with and I was more than happy to have him by my side.
If you were wondering who is the right person to pick, I think you just found him.
