Max Duffaud
@maxduffaud
I translate technical products and scientific expertise into practical B2B sales and client guidance.
What I'm looking for
I've supported technical sales and customer relationships for poultry-industry equipment, laboratory services, feed supplements, and sanitation products across Venezuela and international trade shows.
At Avicampo, I represented Plasson and JamesWay Chickmaster, assessed equipment needs at major client sites, and gathered technical requirements independently for a French-speaking client at IPPE Atlanta. At Laboratorios Chacao, I prepared commercial quotations for feed additive deals and automated Excel reporting for the commercial team.
My chemistry and R&D background spans Michelin, the Weizmann Institute of Science, and the Czech Academy of Sciences, including elastomer formulation, HPLC/HPLC-MS analysis, and technical reporting. I bring French, Spanish, and English fluency to client training, needs assessment, and clear technical communication.
