Engineer And MBA Business Professional Buys Roofing Franchise in Miami, Florida


Unveiling the Blueprint for Success: Invest in Your Future with an Honest Abe Roofing Franchise

The path toward owning your own business is not always straight; it sometimes winds, and takes unexpected turns before ultimately leading you to the right business opportunity. That was the case for Roberto Alamo, 33, of Miami, Florida. His path toward owning an Honest Abe Roofing Franchise was unique, winding, and impressive.


Roberto recently signed his Franchise Agreement after being awarded the Honest Abe Roofing Franchise territory in Miami-Dade County. Read on to get to know more about Roberto, and what lead him to own an Honest Abe Roofing franchise.


Roberto's Path to Owning an Honest Abe Roofing Franchise


Roberto was born and raised in Venezuela, and is fluent in both Spanish and English. Education was an important component of his life from an early age. He saw the value of getting a strong education for both his career, and his personal development. He was an accomplished student throughout his youth. Those accomplishments lead to his acceptance to one of Venezuela's most prestigious Engineering schools.


After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Production Engineering from Unversidad Metropolitana (Caracas, Venezuela) in 2011, Alamo began a career as an Engineer in the Oil and Gas industry for a company that served multiple Latin American countries. During his tenure with that company he held multiple titles, which culminated with a stint as a Vice President of Corporate Development and Operations. It was in this role that he got his first taste of business ownership. Through sweat equity, he was given the opportunity to take over a new business unit for the company.


Under his direction, this new unit expanded international business, successfully entering 5 new countries and securing projects with new clients totaling $28 million in Columbia, Peru and Mexico. This established the company as the Latin-American geotechnical market leader within 2 years of it's inception. He successfully lead a team of 60 members to complete 3 offshore exploration projects, while also beating profit expectations by 20%. This success would be enough for most people, but not Roberto. He knew that he was meant for more.


In 2016, Alamo began studies at New York University in pursuit of his graduate degree in Business Administration. Once graduating with his MBA in 2018, he began work with American Express as a Strategy Senior Manager of Global Product Management. He designed and rolled out new B2B products for corporate payments and lending that is projected to lead to an increased transaction volume of $60 billion.


Since 2019, Alamo has been working as a project leader for a technology consulting group based out of Miami, Florida.

Last month, i contacted a roof repair company for roof replacement. They took a whole week to replace the roof and the work done by them was phenomenal.
