What I'm looking for
As an Independent Remote Research Consultant, I have successfully managed research projects across various industries including IT, telecom, FMCG, fashion, and energy since 2011.

In my previous role as Operations Director at Sentido, I oversaw international suppliers and managed financial operations, ensuring the smooth import and sales processes. My experience at IBM as a Market Insights Professional allowed me to lead market research efforts across multiple Latin American countries, where I developed strategic recommendations that added significant value to the organization.
