Marcelo Martinez is a Managing Director - Project Management Office , Risk and Compliance at Virtus Partners, LLC. He possess expertise in alternative investments, fixed income, business analysis, hedge funds, equities and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Marcelo and I met at Credit Suisse many years ago and have worked on a few interesting and challenging change management projects. Recently, Marcelo and I onboarded on a new type of adventure: studying for a certificate in cybersecurity risk management. There are two traits that describe Marcelo very well, be that when working or studying: passion and pragmatism. Marcelo puts passion in everything that he does, in all areas he needs to deliver; it is obvious to everyone involved, directly or indirectly, that Marcelo spares no efforts when it comes to understanding the subject, approaching it from all the obvious or not so obvious angles, and finding a solution to satisfy all parties. Marcelo combines passion with pragmatism and that makes him outstanding. Marcelo can engage all necessary resources for taking a delivery to the end line, be those easily offered to him or very difficult to obtain. Marcelo is capable of stating true to his word when it comes to project deliveries because he is able to summarize to the key stakeholders, right from step zero: a) the end result, b) the foreseeable challenges along the way, and c) the mitigation strategies. I wish Marcelo only the best in his endeavors and I trust he will show passion and pragmatism in any new projects he will agree to be involved with."
