Who is Eduardo Mesas?

My name is Eduardo Mesas. Nine years ago, freshly 27, with an architecture degree under my arm and a hard hat that fit me bigger than my experience, I headed to Bolivia. I was leaving my comfort zone to dive into a new country, with different ways of working, new cultures… and also new heights (literally). My first visit was to an 80-meter tower, where we were already pouring the roof on floor 20. Between plans and a bit of vertigo from the wind blowing that day, I understood that something big was just beginning there.

What is your role within CLERHP?

During the first six years, I focused on client acquisition and on-site technical assistance, learning from the ground up what it means to provide real support to the field team. And also what it means to eat with plans on the car's hood and resolve technical details with limited WhatsApp signal and Skype meetings with the rest of the colleagues in Spain. But you learned a lot. A whole lot.

I remember with nostalgia — and the occasional dark circle — watching how the nighttime crane assembly and telescoping was carried out, checking rebar under floodlights or with a mobile phone flashlight where light couldn't reach, and putting together commercial proposals while concrete was still flowing. It was demanding, but also addictive. That mix of technique, pressure, and rock 'n' roll is what hooked me… and still does.

Over time, my role evolved and today I split my activity between Spain and the Dominican Republic as a technical-commercial contact. I accompany our clients from the first "Hello, pleased to meet you" through contract close and project follow-up, addressing questions, proposing solutions, and above all, building trust-based relationships. Because if there's something we value at Clerhp, it's that a client calls us again: repeat clients are the greatest recognition of a job well done.

What captivated you about Larimar City & Resort?

Today I try to pour all that knowledge into Larimar, with a global approach: optimizing designs, controlling costs, and delivering effective technical solutions. It's thrilling to be part of a project that doesn't just build homes but is creating a new city, where every decision is thoughtful, consensus-driven, and pushes us in the right direction.

And of course, I can't close without thanking Larimar's leadership team for trusting me when I was just starting my career and still wrestling with some Excel formulas. They've accompanied and guided me throughout these years. I'm aware of the time they've invested in my development, and I only hope to keep returning all that effort with work, commitment and — why not — a few laughs along the way.

Thank you for these 9 years. And here's to many more… with a better-fitting hard hat.
