Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Spanish term or phrase: Me presenté ante
Al iniciarme con el proyecto realicé las siguientes actividades:

-Me reuní con el personal de UIT y los representantes del PNUD, quienes me informaron de las generalidades del contrato entre la Empresa y UIT.

-Me presenté ante la gerencia del Proyecto de la Empresa.

-Solicité y comenzé a revisar documentación clave del proyecto...

This seems simple enough, but "appeared before" sounds too legal, 'presented/introduced myself to' seems to be missing something in English - right now I'm using "met with", although the first sentence uses "me reuní con" - I'm sure I overthinking this, suggestions appreciated
