SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Launched DVD manufacturing in Brazil and LatAm market. VHS was loosing market and DVD was heating up in the US. Brazil and LatAm had no short-term neither mid-term plans for DVD. Awhile at Warner, initiated discussions with WAMO (Warner Technology) and Videolar and structured the technology transfer, the contract basis and cleared it with lawyers and finance of both parties, allowing the definitive release of DVD products in Brazil and Latin America. Developed the LatAm logistics for DVD supply for all Warner’s licensees in L.A. and subsidiaries in Mexico and Brazil. Optimized the implementation through workshops to all L.A. countries, being lately copied by other majors.

Broke all time record sales for DVDs and DVD players. DVD sales were stagnant due to the high consumer’s prices for DVD players (equipment) and lack of titles. Led the bundling and marketing campaigns (with Gradiente), offering 60 titles at once and reduction of DVD player to ½ of its price. Sales increased by more than 1000% in the 1st month and kept growing. Gradiente, the manufacturing company that participated in the bundling increased its revenue market share from 14% to 70%, WBros went to 80%, definitely starting a new era in the DVD market.

Broke all time record of Theatrical tickets sales and DVD sales, benefiting free TV Broadcast. 2nd largest Free TV broadcast had acquired WBros content, however never had benefited from its success. Through a very skillful negotiation, was able to put together the TV partner with a formidable marketing campaign promoting their joint owned content, establishing a new level of sales (first time the country achieved 100M ticket sales (2002) and over 500K DVD unit sales for a single title - Harry Potter I). Participant Free TV broadcast (SBT) reached a level of audience never seen before. WBros. saved US$ millions on TV ads with an outstanding product exposure.

Formulated and spearheaded WHV and WBT consolidation, achieving industry leading status for both. Home Video and Theatrical operations had always been separated. Requested by worldwide president to create business plan for joint operation with single local president. Demonstrated potential strategies and cost savings of uniting both companies. Upon plan approval, promoted to position of joint president. Substantially increased each company’s sales and market share. Saved 30% on overall costs. Grew and sustained both companies as industry leaders, becoming world’s benchmark. Gave assistance to other countries (England, France, Germany) to implement similar format.

Reorganized and relocated WHV manufacturing and distribution operations, reducing costs US$30million annually. Production was outsourced at considerable cost. Private courier companies were charging tremendous amounts for distribution. Negotiated with government mail service to take over courier services. Moved manufacturing to incentive zone to implement Federal Sales Tax savings. Reduced annual manufacturing cost 35% and distribution costs US$1.8M.

Circumvented inflationary effects, reduced costs and increased sales, yielding $210M WHV ten-year net profit. Over three years, company had invoiced US$51mln and remitted only US$1M. Induced tax savings, reduced costs, decreased marketing expenses with much higher exposure and implemented strategic changes. On his first-year facilitated a profit of US$12M on US$24M sales and a US$22M average net profit for the following nine years.

Conceived and implemented Projeto Valor, boosting morale, productivity and profits at Videolar. Low morale and lack of pride had detrimental effect on productivity. Developed Mission, Principles and Projeto Valor (Value Project) based on and providing training, evaluation, teamwork, community services and
awards. Received award as Number 1 Company in Rubber & Plastics, beating Goodyear, Firestone, Petrobras subsidiaries and achieved best net profit ever.
