Summary of Strengths
I recently moved back to Canada after living in Beijing for 9 years where I had my own Company that provided outsourcing and project management services to commodity traders and mining firms. Prior to that, I spent 2 years as a CEO and 3 years as Management Consultant in the U.S.
In addition to being fluent in English, Portuguese and conversational Spanish, as a strategist I also speak the global language for business, having been well versed in managing in cross cultural environments on an international scale, this allows me to generate a fulfilling and productive workplace, where strong growth and strategic corporate objectives are consistently surpassed.
