What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive sales and marketing experience while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

With over 25 years of experience in sales and marketing, I have honed my skills in developing and executing successful commercial strategies. My journey began in Brazil, where I led teams and managed sales operations for various companies, including Yamaha Musical do Brasil and Proshows Com. Eletro. S/A. I have a proven track record of achieving sales targets and enhancing team performance, which earned me the Best Salesman award for five consecutive years.

My international experience includes living in London for 25 months, where I improved my English and worked as a freelancer for a newspaper. I have a deep understanding of the international market, having been responsible for product development and maintaining commercial relationships abroad. I am passionate about integrating all departments of a business to achieve strategic long-term goals, ensuring that marketing, finance, and logistics work in harmony.
