What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a dynamic company culture.

I am a retail professional with over 10 years of experience in global environments, particularly at Walmart, where I honed my skills in leadership and data-driven decision-making. My expertise lies in supplier management and commercial strategy development, which has allowed me to drive significant growth and efficiency in various roles.

As the Founder and Commercial Manager of Comercial Isla Negra Spa, I successfully directed the development of a climate control company, implementing omnichannel strategies that integrated wholesale, retail, and digital sales. My previous roles at Walmart included managing the men's clothing and furniture categories, where I achieved remarkable results such as a 40% increase in sales and a 30% reduction in inventory through innovative strategies and strong supplier negotiations.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in international sourcing and consulting to create impactful commercial strategies that drive business success. My advanced English proficiency enables me to excel in international negotiations, ensuring that I can effectively communicate and collaborate with global partners.
