Marcos arrived in the UAE in 1990 shortly after completing his University studies in Leiden and Paris, obtaining his BBA in International Business. He speaks Dutch, English, French, and basic Arabic and looks for constant growth not only for himself but also for his team.
Marcos is the force behind the creation of Summertown, his passion and vision to create a company that not only provides a highly polished service to the client but also has strong core values, ethics and a sense of unity within itself.
He believed in Green values long before the word became “fashionable” and brought team effort to be the strength of the company.
Marcos’ calm exterior hides a deep inner strength and a strong focus. He has a thorough understanding of the local culture and business ethics and when it comes to his employees, provides support and a nurturing environment resulting in loyalty and respect amongst Summertown’s staff.
Marcos is passionate about his pastimes. He likes to get up early in the morning to run, cycle or swim to train for, and participate in triathlons. Short breaks are often taken camping with his children in the UAE's or neighboring countries beautiful terrain, and when time allows, reading an inspiring book.
