Amazing things Rui's made

In 1992 I set up a national record in sales in a Pepsi Corporation subsidiary. As Core Mentor and Programming Consultant I helped a Start Up company in 1993 became a success in more than 20 countries +info www.grupopie.com/. I start my own enterprise in 1997, Gold & Silver Lda., and get the break even point in just 3 months. We had more than 4000 clients and we won the annual award BEST ENTERPRISE OF THE YEAR in 2000 (+100 nominated) and 2002 (Portugal and Spain, +400 nominated). The award was based on innovation level, customer loyalty and after-sales service.
In 2006, as Advisor I conduct the whole process of a standard ISO14001 certification in a MacDonald's franchise in Portugal, making this "flag" the 1st Europe's Restaurant with the ISO14001 +info www.mcdonalds.pt/mcdonalds/ambiente/ .
Since 1993 I coach/mentor entrepreneurs and networkers.
Since 2002 I'm developing a solution to makes us 100% sustainable and live in a world beyond politics, poverty and war.
