Strategic Business Development Director

May 2022 - Present
International business advisor: M&A, JVs partnerships, Green Field projects, Export Sales, Licensing & Franchising, and Market Development in Latin America. I am responsible for helping organizations doing business in North America and Latin America to increase sales and financial growth. I coordinate with company executives and sales & marketing professionals to review business opportunities to propose new businesses. To succeed in this process, I lead the research of potential business opportunities on behalf of our clients to find those that are relevant and financially beneficial from inception to final purchase, consolidation, or engagement with qualified strategic partners. Our goal is to lead the establishment of business expansions into Latin America and North America. Our leading role is to communicate directly with other companies to identify the benefits of a business deal with our clients and support them in negotiations to reach a proposed agreement. I am a business development advisor to The Coca-Cola Company and its bottling system in North America and Latin America, plus a diverse client base of medium and Fortune 500 companies. Show less
