About Mar Azul

In the last three years, Julio has been part of the Mar Azul project management team, which comments to us: “It has helped me optimize my management skills and I have been proud to carry out important projects, such as the construction of the new Liberty Latin America office, unique in its category and managing an iconic project on the islands, such as Bocas Bali.”

In the workplace, what has it been like to be part of this prestigious team?

“At Mar Azul, every day is an achievement and in each project I learn from my mistakes and adapt the management to be able to implement new processes or improve existing ones so its management is more automated and practical, to obtain a closer relationship with the clients, and to be able to achieve the necessary goals.”

Experiences

Within his 15 years of experience in the construction sector, he tells us about an important challenge; one of his greatest achievements in the workplace: “having managed a project with the government, which entailed abrupt risks on all sides and with all fronts pointing to my head, I was able to plan and manage the day-to-day management and to direct this megaproject into a profitable and organized business from a zero stage and without the support of any superior or the company where I worked.”

He tells us that this challenge, without a doubt, represented a milestone in his experience, as well as many lessons that he has been able to contribute in his subsequent projects and in his career in Mar Azul.

What advice do you share with us?

For Julio, everyone who works in the construction sector faces complicated situations every day, but “like everything in life, you always have the easy and the difficult, but you always learn from both.”
