    Creation and operation of a subsidiary of a Venezuelan company of which I was one of 5 partners, looking to enter the Peruvian market of nuts, dried fruits and juices, like almond, cashew and peanut, among others. This business adventure included: • Strategy, planning, procedures. • Daily operations: Production, packaging, dispatch. • Administrative duties, including customers and suppliers management. • Design and Labelling, including brand development. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, in May of 2020, we had to change strategy and develop a partnership with a local logistics company, acting as their distributor and dispatcher, in the area of vegetables, dried fruits and nuts. This was a super valuable experience for me. I learned a lot about managing a company, being in a partnership, and managing customers and suppliers. This learning supposed touching a little bit of planning, procurement, processes and procedures, personnel management and general strategy. But probably the most valuable learning of this experience, was failing. I finally had to return to Venezuela, review my interests, talents and skills. I decided to put my energies into the family business – a gas station and convenience store- for a few years, focusing on two specific areas: administration and human resources.
