Guillermo Fierro’s Summary

I am a happy person. I like to develop people.

I started out supporting Operating Systems and Software for DEC, became a manager of Software and Educational Services. Moved to Europe to become CIO of the largest private group in Portugal, where I learned and did more exciting things. I left to found my own dot.com that still leads in the area of Data Synchronization worldwide. I became involved with Standards organizations and shared a lot of knowledge.

I came to the US and did an immersion in Real Estate. This allowed me to meet interesting people from all over the world.

I am paying a lot of attention to the WELLNESS industry. It just makes sense. Why spend US$ 1,7 Trillion in Medicines instead of using this money for PREVENTION and QUALITY OF LIFE.
