About MacHo Barrios

As the Talent Management Director at TCS, I leveraged my multitasking, performance metrics, and stress management skills to source and recruit top talent for various government contracts. With 6+ years I enjoy the challenge and diversity of working with different clients and candidates across multiple domains and locations.In addition to my sourcing career, I am also a Firefighter with over 19 years experience and currently work for Tampa Fire Rescue. I am certified in CPR, FIREFIGHTER, and Paramedic, and I have experience in handling stressful and emergency situations with professionalism and composure. Furthermore, I am passionate about Olympic Weightlifting, and I have been coaching and programming for athletes of all levels at Unleashed Weightlifting for more than 17 years. I believe that my unique combination of skills and experiences reflects my dedication, resilience, and versatility.
