  I had the opportunity to relocate to Malaga and lead the opening of a new office in the Andalucia market for our company. My role involved recruiting and building a high performing team of five talented individuals to spearhead our acquisition efforts in the region. Over time, we experienced significant growth, expanding the team to 12 dedicated professionals. Additionally, I played a supporting role in a successful M&A process, where we acquired and merged an existing company, ultimately contributing to the growth of our team in Malaga to over 50 members within a span of two years.

• Head Of Business Development

  • Feb 2020 - Sep 2020

  Hired to open an office and establish a team in the Balearic Islands with the objective of expanding business operations. Trained a talented group of 12 individuals to drive our acquisition efforts in the region. Despite the efforts, Covid hit the fan and led to the early closure of the operations after only a few months, resulting in the unfortunate decision to let go of the recently hired team in May. I stayed on hold to retry the office opening but in September I joined another more solid project. Show less
