What I'm looking for

I’m interested in international General Manager, COO, and Director of Operations opportunities, with flexible executive arrangements focused on results. I’m open to international, remote, or hybrid opportunities, as well as fractional consulting.

At Calera Oriental SRL, I grew annual revenue from approximately USD 2.5 million to more than USD 8 million through revenue growth, product diversification, market development, and cost optimization. I also improved net profit margin after tax from 7% to 9.5% of sales.

I led the development and implementation of a fertilizer plant with installed capacity of 30 metric tons per hour, the company’s largest investment. I also led equipment and process optimization that doubled production capacity on two of four lines.

At COTAS RL, I progressed from process analysis, quality, and product management to Administration and Service Provision Manager, directing more than 300 employees. I later coordinated production planning and control at Calera Oriental SRL before becoming its General Manager.
