Alfredo, 44, studied civil engineering and started his career in a construction company. Although he liked the work, he disliked the uncertainty associated with project-based jobs. His passion was sales, and at Holcim he was able to learn and develop a lot in this area, both through practical experience and further training. After working for various companies, selling tractors among other things, he was contacted by a Brazilian company and after a telephone interview was hired as the person responsible for their elevators in Nicaragua. There he received further training and continued his education - he is currently learning English, for example. In 2020, the company informed him that it would be withdrawing from Nicaragua, but offered him the opportunity to take over the business. With dedication, Alfredo managed to keep almost all customers and win new ones. Today he runs his own company, specializing in the sale, installation and maintenance of elevators.
