About

I'm a profesional that is always looking for challenges in dynamic and international environments. I have completed two university degrees (Industrial Engineering in Argentina and Masters in Industrial Management in Belgium) and I worked as a project engineer in the Oil & Gas industry for three years. Then I found my passion for supply chain and joined The Dow Chemical Company in The Netherlands in 2011.
