Dr. Carlos Cerrato, EFSLU’s Managing Director and Representative, has worked (as a Swiss Citizen) in Switzerland and Liechtenstein (important centers of World Banking Finance), and has been actively involved for more than 20 years in verifying and analyzing documentation related to different types of projects (agro-industry, infrastructure, manufacturing and commerce, natural resources, property and tourism, etc.) recommended for funding, located in developing countries.
This gained expertise, and earned academic qualifications/degrees (Associate in Applied Science in Hotel Technology, Bachelor of Science in Hotel Administration, Master of Business Administration, and Doctoral Degree in Finance) allowed him to create a quality approach, which offers a step-by-step guide evaluation and advisory services to the areas of major concern for the investor/lenders and the project owner, which is imperative, in order to accommodate the constant increase in the demand, and volume of funds for the realization of numerous proposals with a high degree of confidentiality.
Furthermore, Dr. Cerrato has written (besides several Thesis/Academic Papers) a Dissertation for his Doctoral Degree titled “Model for the Evaluation of Project Funding in Emerging Markets”, as a result of a detailed research throughout years of experience in the field.
Over the years, EFSLU, and also under the supervision of Mrs. Elisabeth Cerrato-Weber, its Deputy Director, has assembled a unique and dynamic team of highly skilled and experienced professionals, committed to respond promptly within the scope of the agreed lending parameters, to fully support clients during the entire procedure.
