Gislene Silva
@gislenesilva
I’m a Commercial Executive and Sales Manager focused on regional growth, business development, and data-driven team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Gerente Comercial e de Vendas with more than 20 years of experience in regional team management, market expansion, and leader development in companies like Avon/Natura&Co, Jequiti, and Grupo Vigorito. Throughout my career, I increased regional revenue by up to 82% (Jequiti), reduced delinquency by 69% (Avon), and led structures of up to 190 professionals—always blending strategic vision with practical execution.
I build growth through sell-in & sell-out, trade marketing, KPI management, and strong channel relationships across pharma and retail. I rely on data-driven decision-making using CRM (including Salesforce) and SAP, and I apply consultative methodologies such as SPIN Selling and GPCT to structure opportunities and strengthen customer relationships.
Recently, I lived an international experience in Ireland, where I duplicated revenue for a services operation (from €40k to €80k/month) and led the structuring of a team of 130+ people. I also founded and lead a recruitment consultancy (Cork Staff Solutions), growing it organically and remotely while expanding connections with the Brazilian market.
I’m motivated by consistent growth, leadership oriented to results, and the discipline of managing by data—without losing proximity to the team. I’m now looking for new challenges as Gerente Comercial/Vendas where I can generate sustainable value through strategic commercial leadership.

Professional development
Career Break
Jan 2025 - Dec 2025 (11 months)
This exchange was not made only of studies and challenges.
It was made, above all, of people.
People who reached out, shared their time, knowledge, the right words at the right moment and, many times, support without asking for anything in return.
To everyone who was part of this journey, my heartfelt thank you.
I take with me lessons, memories, and a gratitude that words can hardly express.
