"Joaquin has such a thoughtful and creative approach to networking and community-building. The way he planned out strategic coffee chats and spun them into social content was fantastic, and he's proactive in his approach to connecting the dots. I can see why he'd be a great asset to any customer success team and am excited to follow his career journey!"

Lia Zneimer, Vice President of Marketing at Teal
"We hired Joaquin as Community Manager @Shapr and we've got the chance to oversee and witness some important skills, such as being able to take ownership in his work, communication skills (especially from other Shapr users), and being a team player. It's such a pleasure to have him in our team."

Ludovic Huraux, Serial Investor
"A wonderful human spreading some amazing energy and insights into the world. I would highly recommend brightening up your day with Joaquin!"

Bianca Errigo, Co-Founder of HumanOS
"Joaquin eats, breaths, and sleeps all things community. It's obvious that community is his passion and that he is committed to building strong communities wherever he is. I've had the pleasure of being in the same space as Joaquin for about a year and his professionalism and passion never cease to amaze me. "

Katrine Reddin, Head of Sales at Commsor
"Joaquin has a natural ability to build connections. When I met with him the way in which he was able to ask insightful and thoughtful questions that led to a great conversation was impressive. He has a genuine thirst for knowledge and truly cares about learning from others. His passion and kindness will take him far, and I know he will succeed at whatever he set his mind to! "

Paty Araiza, Sales Enablement Manager at iMatrix
"It was an absolute pleasure connecting with Joaquin! Our conversation felt like catching up with a friend, thanks to Joaquin's genuine warmth and authenticity. I was impressed by his talent for visual storytelling, which showcases his dedication to fostering community engagement and bringing fresh perspectives to the table. Joaquin's boundless energy and invaluable contributions make him an asset to any team or project. Thank you, Joaquin, for the insightful conversation and the spotlight you shine on others."

Anna Kozuch, Community Lead at Make
"Joaquin is such a great conversationalist. Talking to him felt like talking to an old friend. He reminded me of the importance of connecting with people. In this hyper-digital world we have a lot of connections but we aren't really connecting, at least not purposefully. And that is whatJoaquin achieves a true connection despite borders, wifi problems. You will not be disappointed."

Debora Mestre, BDR at Simera
"Chino's coffee chat project was very cool to be part of! He does a wonderful job of creating an environment where folks get to showcase who they are as people under the professional faces that we all put on for LinkedIn. He came prepared for the session with a variety of questions, which helped to keep us on track timing-wise, but he wasn't set on the conversation moving in any specific direction."

Kelly McGillis, Customer Success at Fable
“Chino is a fantastic community builder. He has strong people skills that make you want to engage with him, and is very good at building rapport straight away. Something that is hard to do is target the right end user, and I was really impressed by Chino's ability to reach out and maintain a polite persistence until we booked in the call. Overall a super respectful and empathetic person, I'd be happy to work with again 😊”

Jess Noel, Sales Engineer at Passionfruit
"Un grand merci à Joaquin (aka Chino) pour ces 5 années passées à travailler ensemble. J'ai beaucoup apprécié son implication, sa rapidité, la précision et la qualité de son travail. Chino est aussi force de proposition. J'ai été à 100% de confiance alors qu'on était en remote sur un continent différent et qu'il gérait tout le community management en anglais de Shapr. Si l'occasion se présente, je referai sans nul doute appel à lui."

Vincent Bobin, Startup Advisor
"Chino is a wonderful marketer and top-talent in his field. After such an insightful interview, I'm glad to have him (and his knowledge) as part of my network!"

Trish Seidel, Head of Content at DJUST
"Thank you, Chino, for a fun coffee chat! I admire your preparation, organisation, and storytelling skills. What I'll never forget about our interaction is your thoughtful execution of the whole interview: you prepared, you leaded with insightful questioning which made the interview unforgettable. Truly, what the other people have been saying are right -- you are a networking extraordinaire!"

Laura Erdem, Sales Leader at Dreamdata
"Joaquin is an incredible dot-connecter, and his authentic and personable way of networking makes him a truly valuable contact. He reached out to me after I asked for input on a project at Commsor, and went above and beyond to help by sharing his own experiences and connecting me to other experts who would be able to share theirs. It's rare to meet someone that kind and helpful on the internet, and our interactions always brightened my day."

Kirsti Lang, Senior Content Writer at Buffer
"In the months that I've known Joaquin, he's been encouraging, engaging, and supportive. Constantly bringing great content to my feed and relevant value to our chats. I'm excited to have him in my virtual network and can't wait to meet in person! If you get the chance to work with or know Joaquin, take it! You won't regret it."

Clarissa Gidcumb, Account Executive at Auctane
"Joaquin is one of the most positive, steadfast, committed professionals I know. I've known him for years and watched him grow his personal brand from the ground up. He puts a personal touch to every detail, making it human, relatable and engaging. He's an excellent communicator, driven visionary and a stellar team player. I know that he would a huge asset to any company he works with! "
