Key Account And Finance/Admin Manager

Summary

For more than nine years, I coordinated the day-to-day operations of Sherlog International in Argentina, a company providing services in the field of telecommunications in the unstable environment of the Argentine economy. So on top of the regular job responsibilities, I had to be prompt and creative in dealing with unexpected situations that, in such market, could arise overnight.


Prior to that, I worked in various roles (and countries) within the European Fresh Produce Industry, where I was responsible, among others, for account management, retail sale, negotiations, budgeting and forecasting and production and supply chain planning for key customers and retailers in Central Europe.


I consider myself a highly versatile and proactive person, fluent in English and Spanish, with a passion for business and customer satisfaction whilst maximizing the company's benefits.


I have travelled, lived, and worked in different countries and have the ability to adapt and take on new challenges and I am looking forward to bringing these attributes and skills to my next job in the Czech Republic.
