About

Born and raised in Argentina, a lawyer by profession, and a business developer by passion. With 12 years of experience trading and distributing plastic resins, I have honed my skills in supply chain management, finance, credit and risk assessment, and business development. My professional journey has taken me across Argentina, New Zealand, Uruguay, Peru, and Mexico, where I have developed local/global suppliers, including resin producers and distributors, forming strategic alliances. I am an expert in trading commodities with a strong focus on polyolefins and trade finance. My experience includes creating local distribution networks, leading intercultural teams, and providing global leadership. I am passionate about my work, bringing creativity, proactivity, and versatility to achieve organizational goals. With a strong sense of belonging and a commitment to continuous learning, I strive to equip myself with the necessary tools to navigate and succeed in this ever-changing world.
