JOSE CID

Financial Advisor

Throughout my life, I have been helping people inside and outside of the work environment. Every day I translate into actions my motto: it is though knowledge and practice that we can effectively grow. I am constantly learning from my experiences and, at the same time, sharing the knowledge I have by consulting, teaching, coaching, mentoring and writing.

My passion for learning has been the driving force behind my career. I started in engineering research and development, finding solutions to technical problems and greatly increasing my employer or client bottom line. Then I moved to manage not only projects, but also and most importantly, people – the real reason projects transform plans into reality. I had the opportunity to see my vision become reality with the help of many, creating wealth in terms of money and quality of life.

As an entrepreneur, I invested and lead investments in manufacturing, engineering consulting, real estate, financial markets and online education. Again, the team behind those ventures were the reason of their successes. Hundreds of people have been helped thanks to those entrepreneurs that sided with me to create jobs, new awesome products and living environments as well as learning opportunities.

Yes, I was never alone. I have been part of teams ranging from 2 to over 50 people of all backgrounds. I had the pleasure of working side by side with some of the greatest minds of the industry. I humbly helped teams reach goal after goal when I was in the manager role.

The key aspects of my philosophy are:

• We are humans and this is great

• Listening is more important than speaking

• Lead by example – it is easier to explain

• Never stop learning

• Be persistent in doing the right things and flexible to learn

• I can be as wrong as anyone else

• Embrace change

• Be mindful with the people that needs me

• One size fits all never really fits

I welcome invitations to connect, work or coffee. When contacting me, let me know how I can help.
