About
Senior advisor. Builder of portfolios. PMP.
Two decades, one craft.
Manuel Ricardo Cabral Ximenes founded MX PM Consulting after twenty years inside infrastructure and energy programs across South America and Africa, with a particular depth in Colombia. His career has spanned business development, bidding, construction, contract administration, operations and asset management — the full arc of capital projects, lived from inside the operating company rather than read from a slide.
He holds a Civil Engineering degree from PUC-Rio, an MBA from PUC-Rio Business School, and an MSc in Project Management from Boston University. He is PMP-certified and an active member of the Project Management Institute. Manuel works in Portuguese, Spanish and English and serves clients across Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina and the United States.
MX PM Consulting was founded to do one thing well: bring senior, advisory-grade project management to organizations that need clarity, discipline and outcomes — not theatre.

How Manuel works
Senior from day one.
You get the founder, not a graduate. Every engagement is led personally.
Calibrated, not canned.
PMI methods, adapted to your reality. We never deploy templates without thought.
Benefits, not deliverables.
We measure ourselves on value realized after we leave, not pages produced while we are there.
Selected experience
Owner to populate selected engagements.
