He tenido la suerte de trabajar con Chema (José María) en Cocomore AG para Samsung y estaría encantado de volver a coincidir con él en otro proyecto.

Chema tiene un perfil mixto que no es sencillo de encontrar, por una parte es un gran profesional con un conocimiento técnico muy profundo y la experiencia que aporta el hacer los desarrollos de primera mano (Hands-on).
Por otra parte, es un gran Manager, siempre atento a los requerimientos del Cliente, como así también a lo que necesita el equipo, sus propuestas y ofreciendo soluciones innovadoras a escenarios complejos. Por último, Chema es un ser humano increíble que es capaz de generar un excelente ambiente donde trabajar y compartir, lo que genera una productiva inercia entre los equipos y deja de manifiesto su sólida inteligencia emocional.

His expertise in crafting successful concepts helped to ensure our projects not only hit the mark but go above it. Whenever there was a problem, he was on it with a solution, always paying attention to all the little details that make a big difference. Beyond his technical expertise, he’s very good at bringing different viewpoints together and keeping everyone aligned to reach our common goals. Additionally, he really knows his way around agile practices, which has made our whole process smoother and more effective.
Throughout our collaboration, Jose Maria has proven to be a reliable and supportive team member, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure team’s success. He's always ready to pitch in and help out, and his enthusiasm for new ideas kept us all inspired.
