Roberto Rodriguez Esteves started his career as a structural maintenance engineer working for an airline in Venezuela. He then moved to Hawaii, U.S.A, where he specialized in non-destructive testing while working for several industries. He returned to Venezuela to join PDVSA and the oil and gas industry in 1991 and has been working for the industry ever since. Some of the positions that he has held include construction engineer, project engineer, engineering manager, project manager, quality and HSE director, manager of capital projects, and entrepreneur.
Thirty years of professional experience has contributed to developing strategies in several areas of the business, including process improvement, project management, quality management, communications, change and risk management, leadership, and team-building. He has worked in developing and certifying Quality Management Systems and performing audits to project teams and organizations. In recent years, he has dedicated to creating a software application for project management based on integrating quality and project management concepts.
“Balance is the most desirable state of a healthy human being. This may mean something different to each individual. In essence, it means learning to balance between work, family, body, spirit and society.”
“Quality is in everything that you do. Doing everything with quality is not a given, though. It comes through a continuous learning process that accepts failure as a significant contributor, aided by the ability to transform substandard work processes into effective ones.”
A balanced quality oriented project manager stands a much better chance of being successful while executing his (her) project.
Some of the authors that have influenced me are Steven Covey, Ken Blanchard, Doug Keiley, Warren Macdonald, Margarita Amestoy de Sanchez, Chris Brady, and Orrin Woodward.
