More than forty years of business experience, both personally owned by me, or as senior partner of a mixed company. My strength has always been my ability to sell services and ideas, both for my own companies and others that I have consulted for. I have specialized in direct marketing, promotions and sales, as well as in close relations with my clients both in Spanish and English. I have great capacity to adapt and at this stage of my life, I am open and eager to work changes.

SKILLS

Leadership

More than forty years creating and running businesses, I was forged early on the leadership principles needed to achieve harmonious and steady success for the good of our company and its employees. I have great written and verbal communication skills in English and Spanish that come in handy in dealing with the junior staff, with high management, and above all, with the current and potential clients of the company.

Teamwork

I firmly believe that with well-coordinated and aligned teamwork, you can effectively help meet the company's performance objectives and optimal result of business management. I am a huge believer in team play, and value the contribution of each one of the members equally.

Communication

The exposure generated by managing several companies, has led me to specialize in the integral management of PR and institutional, marketing and sales thus creating and maintaining effective relationships.
