About Me

A solid academic training through an International MBA and a degree in Applied Foreign Languages (French, English, Spanish) enabled me to gain expertise on company management in a multinational and multicultural environment. Work experience of more than four years in large, field leader companies helped me develop analytical, interpersonal and negotiation skills, teamwork, responsibility and capacity for quick adaptation and learning.

I would like to join the marketing area of a company where I can contribute with my knowledge of languages, especially French, English and Spanish, and with my creativity and proactivity.
