Passionate Senior Executive with over 20 years of experience in branded consumer businesses in Dubai, India, and Angola for companies such as Coke, Nestlé, Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, ARCOR, Kellogg's, SC Johnson, BEIERSDORF, and Baja Auto. I moved back and forth between line and staff positions with local or international scope, operational or strategic roles, and functional (sales and marketing) and general management positions, consistently achieving strong results. During that fruitful tenure, they gained strong competencies in business transformation and diversification (creation of sustainable new revenue platforms), leadership and organizational development (creation and right-sizing, team development, and people coaching), and brand development (innovation management, new channel penetration, and new geography penetration, resulting in increased market share).
