Message

At Aptar - Closures Division, I prospected and qualified new business opportunities and coordinated teams across engineering, marketing, and supply chain to deliver tailored solutions. I expanded market share among strategic accounts and sold a local production cap for a client’s innovation launch, driving double-digit sales revenue growth.

At Rompa Group – Automotive Division, I managed accounts across North America and Latin America and opened two strategic accounts in Mexico. I also negotiated contracts and coordinated logistics for project components.

At Milacron - Aftermarket Division, I provided technical sales support for injection molding solutions and implemented aftermarket service programs that reduced downtime by 20%. Earlier, at Daiichi Jitsugyo Co - DJK México and Q-Pumps México, I supported project delivery, supplier negotiations, customer service, and sales across industrial markets.
