Introducing myself:

I hope you'll spend a few minutes browsing the various sections. When I was compiling the various parts of the site I did wonder what to include or leave out. Creating a website like this is always a delicate balancing act between providing information you hope someone out there in cyberspace might be interested in and merely providing a vehicle for a huge personal ego trip. I'll leave you to judge the result...


Introducing myself:
 

Having graduated as a Telecommunications Engineer (Argentina-UNLP-1983) I did a one-year full-time postgraduate course in Oil Fields Administration (Argentina-UBA-1986) and gained professional experience in multinationals oil companies (Dresser, YPF, Valvulas Industriales) over eight years. In a career shift, I moved to Germany with a scholarship from the German Hanss Seidel Foundation in order to do a Masters degree in International Marketing (UNLP-Reutlingen University agreement -1995).

 

I was trained in sales in Robert Bosch Automotive in Germany and then I worked as a Sales Engineer in Robert Bosch Mexico for four years, before being promoted to Product Manager. Returning to Europe (Holland) I worked for five years in trade and international business as a freelance consultant (matchmaker, export/import) supported by the Port of Rotterdam. 

 

In the last four years I have been working in the metal industry as a Sales Manager in Barcelona and travelling worldwide visiting customers and opening new markets.

 

I speak several languages (English, German, Italian, basic Catalan, Dutch and French and native Spanish). Currently I am studying for a Master´s degree in East Asian Studies at the Open University of Catalonia.

 

Skills:

 

Commercial manager with a technical background (engineering degree). Export Executive with 20+ years' experience in several industrial sectors, market research studies, finding niche markets and the best possible distribution channels.

I am looking for a new professional challenge. I am open to receiving proposes from companies which will be interested in join a Sales Engineer or Sales Manager.
