Summary

The experience I have acquired in commercial and financial institutions as well as manufacturing and supply chain, have proven useful to serve as a key voice in coordinating the importers' aftersales teams, to focus on delivering the promise of our company to consumers through remote and in-market activities. As a qualified manager with a broad portfolio of skills I have an outstanding record of delivering strategic objectives and results to support and drive the long-term vision within global initiatives. A natural communicator with experience in building relationships and influencing at all levels and in- and out- the organization.


The combination of skills and experience with continuous academic learning have resulted in a progressive formula I have applied in my current position to identify trends, causes and opportunities to spot alternative courses of action. I am passionate about reconfiguring the information or data in ways that reveal trends, raise questions, identify opportunities and offer solutions towards the achievement of short- and long-term overall goals of the company.
