Querido Fofo...

¡Qué te voy a decir que ya no sepas! It’s hard to imagine our daily work without you. You’ve been much more than a colleague, you’ve been someone we could always count on, with your professionalism and positive spirit.

I’ll miss the way you made teamwork easier and even enjoyable. What stands out most is not only how good you are at your job, but how generous and supportive you have been with everyone around you.

Working with you has truly been a joy and an inspiration. Thank you for all the effort, the patience, and the good energy you brought every single day. I’ll also never forget the small gestures, like the coins or the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life that you once brought me. Those little things show the thoughtfulness you brought to every day. I wish you the very best in this new chapter, you’ll be deeply missed, both as a professional and as a friend.

Un abrazo enorme, amigo mío.

Wishing you all the best in your next adventure!

Fofo! Where do I begin?! You have helped me immensely over this past year getting things put together and figured out financially for the Prague program. I will always appreciate your patience and kindness with me while I navigated soooo many unknowns. Verto won't be the same without you but I wish you so much success and happiness in your new role. Don't be a stranger and come visit us in Prague!! Big hugs!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Fofo - I will always think of you as a fellow care team member in Seville (go winning team!!) Having you in London was always a treat and I feel like there was never enough time. Best of luck in your new transition! We will miss you across the pond - please visit us!!

Fofo, Andrea stole my selfie! Here's one that is not as good as the outside one. It was so good to have you here with us this spring.

You will be greatly missed, come to visit us in Prague! There are so many other cool places we did not have a chance to visit.

Fofoooo, amigoo! What a pleasure to meet you - always bringing the good vibes and energy. It was a pleasure to spend some time with you in London and Seville. Nos vemos pronto :). Pura vida maeee

FOFO you have been such an inspiration and huge support during my last 8 months at Verto! I can't even imagine where I would be without all of your patience, guidance, and expertise. I am so excited for your next professional adventure, but you are certainly leaving a large hole to fill as a man of 1,000 hats! Your new organization and new team is so lucky to have your leadership. Look forward to watching you soar!

# data[].attributes.body
Fofo! You have lived many lives at Verto, from the days when the Costa Rica program moved between countries, to COVID days, to opening CATIE for Verto, to global program ops and finance, your legacy will live on. I am so grateful after many adventures working remotely together, to have had my week in CR with you and the team a few years back. You will be greatly missed. I know you will kill it in the new role, with every ounce of confidence that Verto has prepared you well for anything that is thrown your way. Keep in touch. Un abrazo, amigo!

# data[].attributes.body
Fofo! Though we haven't worked closely together in the day-to-day, I can't imagine Verto without you. Congratulations on your next adventure - they're incredibly lucky to have you.

# data[].attributes.body
Fofo! I knew that I could trust you to take over programming operations, and I wouldn't have to worry about it - at all. I will miss your Virgo way of life! Thanks for being a reliable colleague :) Until next time!

It's been a pleasure to collaborate with you more over the last year. Your thoughtful, calm, collaborative and friendly approach is always so appreciated. And we will always have our fun adventure in London and seeing Wicked!! Congrats and three cheers on your next adventure. You'll be missed!

Fofo, I can’t really imagine what it will be like working without you. You’ve been such a huge support for me. Thank you for your patience and the positive energy you always brought, even when our meetings were early in the morning for you. I’ll always remember our meetings - doing the math together and figuring out where those numbers came from. I’m so happy I had the chance to meet you and work with you! I’ll miss you a lot, but I’m also really happy for you and wishing you all the best in this next chapter!

So sad that as I come back, I have to day goodbye :( from fixing my bike every other week to answering all my silly questions, you have always gone above and beyond to help me. Thank you and I will miss you! Much love to Pame and your sweet boy ❤️

Fofo! I will always treasure the laughs and the stories we had in Sevilla during the January 2025 summit. I had a great storytelling time about Verto's origins, directly from you. What an adventure! Thank you! Of course it was wonderful to see you in Florence as well. If you need tips on the best gelato shops here in Florence when you're here next, let me know. Thanks again and goodluck on the next chapter!

Hi Fofo! I know we didn't get a chance to work closely together since I joined Verto, but I wish you best of luck in your next adventures. It's clear you've had a great impact on creating Verto's supportive and enthusiastic culture and I'm grateful to be part of the culture you helped make. Good luck!!
