How do you contribute to our clients’ success?
I am the first line of communication with prospective new clients, so listening is my number one job. I listen and consult to understand the needs of the allocators and LPs who are interested in Vidrio’s offerings, so that we can propose a solution that meets their specific requirements and ensures a successful implementation in the long run.

I spend a lot of my free time hiking and traveling with my fiance. I love to golf, and to read, especially if it’s reading on the beach. I also serve in the New Jersey Army National Guard as a Signal Officer. I’m currently head of comms for the 117th Combat Support Sustainment Battalion. This means I handle all the physical aspects related to communications, networks, radios, etc.
