🌟Rave reviews from Coffee Chat guests and Colleagues! 🌟

"Joaquin is a fantastic storyteller, and I am honored to be a part of his interview series! If you are thinking about joining, go for it! I believe this collaboration is a fantastic chance to connect with others and contribute to the rich tapestry of diverse voices that Chino has brought together."

Klara Losert, Founder at Talkbase
"Joaquin is a very talented storyteller and content creator. He interviewed me about my career journey and made me feel so comfortable to share. The final product was so slick and engaging, far beyond my expectations. Most importantly- I thoroughly enjoyed working with him on this project!"

Aylam Hofstein, Founder at Kintsugi Coaching
"I spoke with Chino on his show recently and was truly impressed by his thoughtful hosting style, his researched understanding of my experience, his excellent communication in preparation and followup. It's a standout quality in someone when they are truly interested and invested in others and Joaquin is a wonderful example of this; his content vibrates with energy that centers around his guest and I was honored to take part."

Melissa Moody, CEO of Matcha
"I had the pleasure of a coffee chat with Joaquin, who I found fully prepared and energised for our call. His carefully chosen questions facilitated an easy and genuine conversation. Anyone would be lucky to have Joaquin on their team. Thank you Joaquin for the great conversation!"

Claire Houston, Co-Founder at Houston & Ko
"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
"Loved the coffee chat format that Joaquin proposes! It's a great way to connect, get inspired, and even challenged by some of his questions. Keep up the good work and intentions, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors!"

Estefania Cardoso, Managing Director (MX & LATAM) at MASSIVart
"I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Joaquin and it was a refreshing and fun experience! His keen interest and thoughtful questions made the entire discussion so engaging. I commend his ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds!"

Brie Burgett, US Marine Corps & Travel Blogger
"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 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
"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."

Anna Kozuch, Community Lead at Make
"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
"It was a wonderful experience to work with Joaquin. He has an outgoing personality and you immediately feel very comfortable with him. Plus, you notice that he has been talking to people and engaging with others for many years. Overall, I also really like the concept and the idea behind it. You can see the work and effort he has put in it slide by slide. At any time I would have a coffee chat with him again and I highly recommend him to anyone."

Ailyn Arnold, Podcast Host at UNGEFILTERT-Podcast
"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."
