    • Assistant to the Head of the Delegation & Assistant to the Overland Manager
      • 2008 - 2009

      I was hired as the Assistant to the Overland Manager. A month later, the General Director of the Barcelona Delegation offered me to replace his assistant. I ended up giving support, with success, to two demanding Executives by shifting priorities in a high pressure, fast-paced atmosphere, with positivism and a calm demeanour. Unfortunately, in March 2009 the French headquarters, decided to close all Geodis branches in Spain. I was hired as the Assistant to the Overland Manager.

      I entered as the Assistant to the Deputy Director, for a two-week replacement. Luckily, I jumped into the position of Assistant for the Primary School Director. After a few months, the Principal was looking for a volunteer to create from zero a new Registration office, centralized in one single place. I embraced the project immediately and dealt with over 500 files of entries and departures. The awesome acceptance among the parents compensated my hard work.
