Bio

Throughout the years shared as International Fleet Manager and Contract Manager in the Telefónica Group I have been able to verify, within an international context, how easy it is for Christine Soares to establish and maintain efficient and very productive contacts in relationships with the members of our fleet team, using in the negotiations a high level of dialogue in English, Spanish and French — languages necessary to resolve the complicated questions and requests that always arise to our local fleet managers from the various countries that make up the Group. In addition, her international training, empathy with the client, and resolution capacity have always given us confidence and solid knowledge to assess and deal with the bidding and purchase processes of vehicles in which the Corporate Unit Vehicle was involved, achieving thanks to her intermediation, the common objectives and interests of both companies, always showing the best collaborative attitude. Her professionalism, kindness with the client, and commitment add to the energy that she brings to everything she faces, maintaining positivity at all times and knowing how to spread it to all of us who have been lucky enough to work with her. Christine has great talent, excellent fleet knowledge and great empathy with customers.

I had the pleasure of working together with Christine during her time at PSA. She worked tirelessly to pull together a large and complex commercial deal for SGS and she presented it single-handedly to the SGS Procurement leadership and senior management in our Spanish office. Once the deal was signed, she proved to be an attentive and effective Global Account Manager. Resolving issues, negotiating internally within her organisation and generally providing strong support for our contract. Christine would be a great asset to any organisation.
