## About

```text
At Ciclo Ambiental, I led operations across four waste management companies with more than 700 employees. I drove 19%+ year-over-year sales growth in hazardous and biohazardous waste collection and achieved NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003 certification for landfill operations.

At VF Corporation / Kontoor Brands, I directed a workforce of more than 1,200 producing over 1.1 million dozen garments annually. I reduced irregular garments from 6% to 1.8%, generating $300K USD in annual savings, and managed a $15M USD annual operating budget.

Earlier, I directed production teams, developed sewing operations for new product lines, and set a plant productivity record of 107% efficiency. I also owned Promade, where I built a team of carpenters and painters and fulfilled contracts for construction companies, government agencies, and private clients.
