What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead cross-functional projects, grow market presence, and drive operational improvements in a collaborative, results-focused environment.

I am an industrial engineer with over eight years of experience in materials logistics, planning, warehouse design, import/export operations, and project development. I currently lead commercial strategies and market expansion as Business Development Manager at Celator de México, managing key customers and strategic partnerships.

Previously I served as a Project Engineer coordinating plastic injection process transfers for the medical division at Weidmann and led projects through all phases while ensuring ISO 13485 compliance. I also designed warehouse layouts, optimized JIT operations, and launched multi-year projects while working at CEVA Logistics and other manufacturers.

I combine technical expertise (AutoCAD, PFEP, inventory analysis) with strong leadership, customer service, and results-oriented problem solving — delivering cost savings, operational improvements, and successful cross-functional project implementations.
