Salbador Fuentes

I'm an individual that is motivated by clear KPI results! I enjoy taking a leading role within a diverse team. My opinion is that we can learn from one another at all levels of the work force. A leader helps guide and keep the goal clear and top of mind.

I strive in building a highly effective team by empowering, delegating, and encouraging open and honest feedback in a fast paced and high demand environment. This mind set has empowered my ability to adapt and be flexible which has allowed me to work and supervise different areas of a business including but not limited to operations, dealing with recovering/reducing, and controlling costs, which allows for the correct "customer service"is able to be provided!
