What I'm looking for

I seek an international role abroad where I can lead key accounts, drive market expansion, manage cross-cultural projects, and deliver measurable revenue growth.

I am an International Key Account Manager with 13 years' experience in the agri-food industry, skilled at developing European and worldwide markets and managing multimillion-euro accounts.

I have led major customer projects (plant extraction, freeze drying, spray drying, bottling, textured soy) and negotiated large renewals and tenders, delivering measurable growth such as Soy products turnover increases of +32.5% (2024) and +28.5% (2025 projected), and creating a cosmetic oil offer generating €2M.

My strengths include cross-cultural adaptability, supplier and quality management across multiple countries, project leadership, and coaching teams and partners; I am seeking an international opportunity abroad to leverage this experience.
