Gary D'Souza
Senior Lead, Global Manufacturing Engineering Applications, AGCO
Eleven years after joining AGCO, D'Souza moved his career south to Porto Alegre, Brazil to implement a product lifecycle management (PLM) system across the company's six Brazilian factories. Implementing new technology in any existing system is no easy feat... doing it in a different country in a new language is even harder.
While adjusting to Brazilian culture and his new workplace was a transition, D'Souza enjoyed it. "People are just so friendly," he says. "They're so open to change and technology, which is great because that's what I'm there to do."
