Please find enclosed a brief introduction to my professional background and interests. I have collaborated with Telecommunications, IT, Logistics and Airports Systems companies, gaining experience in managing network and systems implementation and deployment programs, being the main point of contact for dedicated customers in the Americas region, providing leadership and direction to project operations team members. My 18+ years of experience in project and business development management, as well as service delivery, has provided my career with the opportunity to be a key member with functional and project sales account leaders and their teams to ensure effective integration, operation, engineering, and delivery solutions for customers according to specific requirements. In addition, I have developed strong customer relationship skills as well as P&L accountability. I am interested in a new challenge and an opportunity to use my technical skills and experience in a different capacity than I have in the past. I am seeking a position with room for growth and opportunity for advancement. I firmly believe that my education, experience, and interests would provide an excellent fit for the requirements of the position that you are seeking to fill. I am confident that I can become an important asset for the company you are currently representing.
