Interview

Juan Jose Montes De Oca is the CEO of Kode Technlogies the comapany whos centrally located in Venezuela but has branches in different countries of South America including Miami. On Monday I met up with Juan Jose in short notice we decided to meet in his office as I had a couple questions to ask him. My interview was broad and basiclly just asked how he started and the process it took to take the company to what it is today. I learned that Juan Jose was an amazing business man with determination and motivation to not never give up. He always wanted to have a company and would do anything to start it. Juan started with a small office where he sold used computer parts. He explained that as you grow clientel you need to make space for more computer parts and need to move to a bigger place that bigger is always better. I learned that you can make your dreams come true if you just work hard enough and to never stop growing always look for more and dont settle for less.

He also has to find new customers and provide clients with product information. Tovar says his job is one of the most important because without sales their would be no way for a company to stay open.
