Max, International Advisor

Max has international heritage, developed uniquely in Cuba, either as the result of Spanish sailors, or as is often believed by native Cubans, as gifts from Italian traders to open the doors of wealthy houses to their goods.  Max uses this international pedigree to advise EVPS about critical issues.  He is curious, observant, smart, always cheerful.
