@pedrogalvan
Strategic account and business development leader driving multimillion-dollar North America growth.
What I'm looking for
I drive multimillion-dollar strategic accounts across automotive, telecom, and lighting, partnering closely with engineering, quality, materials, and operations to deliver tailored solutions. Since Jan 2019, I’ve generated more than seventy-five million dollars in annual revenue, redesigned RFQ and contract support processes to improve response time and win rate (+40%), and maintained approximately ninety-five percent retention of key accounts through proactive communication and solution-focused follow-up.
Alongside enterprise account management, I lead cost and supply-chain initiatives that strengthen profitability—delivering approximately two million one hundred thousand dollars in annual savings and reducing inventory obsolescence by twenty-two percent while sustaining on-time delivery at ninety-nine percent. I also build teams and launch complex programs: as a Program Manager, I led cross-functional teams of more than twenty-five people and improved launch efficiency by forty percent, earning measurable savings and repeat business opportunities.
