I help small- and medium-sized businesses find the financing they need to continue or expand their operations, depending on the specific goals of the company.  Raco Investments offers first-tier placements when available and when strategies dictate that there is ample benefit-to-risk rewards.

I also have extensive knowledge in customs procedures and legislation, as well as in all the logistics involved in the import and export of merchandise and its implications in foreign markets.  In addition, my broad background affords me with vast experience in commercial management and decision-making, as well as substantial experience in Security environments in the areas of care and protection of individuals, analysis of risk situations and personnel management.

I never tire from seeking better personnel edification; it’s something that has always been of interest to me.  I enjoy expanding my knowledge and learning skills that will help me grow personally and professionally.  It’s because of this drive that I have been able to reach the levels I have while managing operations across several organizations simultaneously without interruptions.
