If you love anything about Boston then you and Victor would be friends. Victor is a HUGE Boston sports fan. What is even more cool about Victor is he is a rock star soccer player...not just your average club guy, I mean he is GOOD...REALLY GOOD. In addition to his athletic abilities are his brain abilities...the guy is a technical genius, a visionary, a tactical specialist and can communicate the most complex solutions in a simplistic manner to where your Grandma could understand it.
I met Victor when I was on a custom solution sales team. He was a sales engineer (which is a title that completely mis-represents what he brought to the table) for one of the accounts I was assigned to. The account required some creative thinking to meet the demanding requirements set forth by the customer. There are more times than I care to remember where I really felt in over my head. Victor knew exactly what to say to reinforce my confidence and guide me to finding a solution. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of what would become one of my most important relationships in my professional life.
Victor and I stayed in touch after I left sales and started a new job. He became not only a friend but a true and highly valued confidant. I would engage his opinion before any significant decision. His willingness to share, guide, and advise never failed me. He took it upon himself to check in on me from time to time, and he always seemed to know when I needed him the most. Since I have left Sprint we don't talk as much as we used to but I know he is only a phone call/email away and just knowing he is there is a comfort to me.
