Leon Segundo Zavala Daza

As Engineer I developed a professional experience of 32 years in the areas of Studies, Projects and Construction along a fruitful path that has filled me both professionally and personally.

I had a teaching career at the professional level from exhibitions in seminars, taught courses for professional improvement, to be professor at the Central University of Venezuela and the Newport University, where it becomes Dean of Engineering.

Currently I teach the chairs of Geology and Photointerpretation at the University Jose Maria Vargas in Caracas.

Since the beginning of this century, when Venezuela was affected by large-scale natural event, I participated as a volunteer in rescue and evaluation of high-risk areas.

It was then when collaterally I started in the pursuit of United Nations funds, Andean Development Corporation and the Inter-American Development Bank for assistance and recovery of affected areas, this led me to have a basic knowledge of international finance.

I've been consolidating knowledge to be able to be able to advise those seeking to develop multidisciplinary projects.

Como Ingeniero desarrollé una experiencia profesional de 32 años en las áreas de Estudios, Proyectos y Construcción a lo largo de un fructífero camino que me ha llenado tanto profesional como personalmente.

Tuve una carrera docente a nivel profesional a partir de exposiciones en seminarios, impartí cursos para el perfeccionamiento profesional, para ser profesor en la Universidad Central de Venezuela y en la Universidad de Newport, donde llegué a ser Decano de Ingeniería.

Actualmente imparto las cátedras de Geología y Fotointerpretación en la Universidad José María Vargas de Caracas.

Desde principios de este siglo, cuando Venezuela se vio afectada por eventos naturales de gran envergadura, participé como voluntaria en rescates y evaluación de zonas de alto riesgo.

Fue entonces cuando colateralmente me inicié en la búsqueda de fondos de las Naciones Unidas, la Corporación Andina de Fomento y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo para la asistencia y recuperación de las zonas afectadas, esto me llevó a tener un conocimiento básico de las finanzas internacionales.

He ido consolidando conocimientos para poder asesorar a quienes buscan desarrollar proyectos multidisciplinarios.
