About

I am a professional specialized in designing, implementing and directing innovative business solutions for products and services in Retail, with a strong digital base, both nationally and internationally. Due to my training (Executive MBA at IESE Business School, Universidad Pontificia Comillas) and my international experience (I have worked with teams in Greece, Turkey, China, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil) I firmly believe that my professional goal is to lead successful projects that have a positive impact on the income statement of companies, adapting to their culture and customer satisfaction My technical knowledge and analytical skills acquired in my engineering studies together with the customer orientation and business vision of my subsequent training (Market Research, Foreign Trade and EMBA), have provided me with the necessary skills to obtain a global business vision. in which I specialized in the digitalization of processes for the incorporation of products and services into the retail business and which I complemented with the qualities of project leadership, team management and interdepartmental coordination that I have developed in recent years, together with some skills in negotiation that I apply both professionally and personally. Due to this, with my Initiative, my "Out of the box" and intrapreneurship mentality, as well as with persistence and a strong orientation to results, they have made me develop new areas in the companies and make available to clients and in a short term, products and services hitherto unknown in your sector, such as a Virtual Mobile Operator or the possibility of sending money from the cash lines to a large number of places in the world. For this reason, my professional interest is to direct or create areas in medium-sized or large companies with a strong culture, based on effort and excellence, which will be able to obtain additional income by applying value creation policies among employees, essential to obtain high profitability in a short period of time
