I believe the two most salient traits of my character are the fact that I am a quick learner and that I am strongly driven by common sense and pragmatism. These two traits, paired with my outstanding interpersonal skills, has proven many times over that I can adapt easily to any work environment and thrive in it. I started my professional career in 2007, in France, where I worked for an English company for two years. During this time I acquired many transferable skills that have accompanied me during the last ten years and have proven to be very useful in all my endeavors, such as good communication skills, building and leading a team, managing time and tasks efficiently, and effective planning and organizational skills. In 2010, I was hired by an international trading company as a Logistics Coordinator in Colombia, and in the following years, I was promoted until I reached a post as Operations Manager. During this time I learned mainly about international shipping, international trade, foreign market intelligence, and how to find international clients and suppliers. I have worked with clients and suppliers in the US, in Europe and in all of Latin America. I have also founded two start-ups that allowed me to learn through hands-on experience about entrepreneurship, innovation, and tools such as design thinking and canvas to plan and generate creative ideas and solutions. I am an honest, loyal, dedicated, reliable and autonomous person with an impeccable work ethic.
