With over 20 years of experience in Sales, Marketing and Management with some of the World’s largest retail organizations, consumer product manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, I am recognized as a person with an undoubtable talent for identifying opportunities, creating a strategic vision and motivating my teams around the achievement of the set objectives.

An avid speaker and a talented motivator, I managed teams of 5 to 200 employees in new and mature categories with start-ups, mid-sized companies and global public organizations. I have proven to be a pragmatic but yet a highly creative leader with a structured approach to the identification of opportunities for growing revenues with existing clients and expanding markets and gaining market shares with new customers or in new regions.

Having helped more than 125 companies at getting more than 1,000 different product SKUs listed at retail. I developed product launch programs that have led many brands to category leaders. Some of these programs have also been recognized as some of the most successful in-store marketing events in their categories.

I have held increasingly challenging positions such as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, Director of Business Development, Regional Sales Director, Major Accounts Director, Executive Consultant and University Teacher.
