Rodrigo J. Himiob
Advisor and Managing Director
Rodrigo is a member of a third-generation family business with operations in the Caribbean and Venezuela. From a young age, Rodrigo participated in the family business in a variety of roles, until political circumstances in his home country and his desire to pursue an engineering degree brought him to the United States.
Upon completing his M.S. in Engineering and B.S. in Ocean Engineering at Florida Atlantic University in 2007, Rodrigo joined Deepwater Corrosion Services, a family company in Houston, Texas, USA. In 2010, he joined Houston based, Mustang Engineering (A subsidiary of Wood, PLC – a family firm headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland). In 2017, Rodrigo served as Vice President of Operations & COO of Houston Anodes International (a family firm based in Houston, Texas, USA). In this role, Rodrigo expanded production output, improved efficiency, and increased client satisfaction. In 2018, he moved on to TRC Solutions, where he formalized the method by which new and existing employees, within his department, are groomed to take on new roles and responsibilities while helping them find career paths that lead to success.
Rodrigo brings to the team years of experience in leadership and upper management at numerous family enterprises, companies, and volunteer organizations. His ability to support groups in developing cohesion, a strong learning orientation and openness to feedback are some of his key qualities.
In his quest to continuously improve himself as a leader and family member and becoming an educated owner and good steward of the family business, he decided to pursue an Executive MBA in Family business at Kennesaw State University in the United States. The program, which fostered an intense and ongoing exchange with family business peers, substantiated Rodrigo’s belief that family cohesion and good stewardship are key pillars of any family’s legacy.
Rodrigo is based in Houston, Texas, USA. He is fluent in English and Spanish.
