Mario Alejandro Chaves Campo

Como Gerente General, tuve la oportunidad de liderar un cambio radical en Sucroal desde 2017 hasta mediados de 2021, tiempo durante el cuál la empresa pasó de dar pérdida a sólidas utilidades y casi doblar su facturación. La piedra angular de este cambio fue hacer, con el invaluable apoyo de Natalia, la alineación estratégica (modelo de negocio, estrategia corporativa, modelo operativo y nuevas estructuras). Natalia fue pieza fundamental en todo este proceso de cambio y la consolidación de la nueva gestión comercial; recobró el mercado nacional generando crecimientos constantes y rentabilizando el negocio en su primera responsabilidad como Gerente Nacional de Ventas de la División de Alimentos. En su siguiente rol ya con un alcance internacional, apertura clientes en Brasil, México, Alemania, España, Israel e Indonesia y estos excelentes resultados la llevan a ocupar el cargo de Gerente de toda la División logrando resultados por encima de los objetivos, más que compensando la caída en ventas generada por el dumping en EEUU. Resalto en Natalia su alto compromiso, orientación a resultados, trabajo en equipo, resiliencia, y excelente actitud. Sin duda es una persona a la cuál quisiera tener en mi equipo.

Curtis A. Poulos,

I have worked with Natalia on a broad base of international business for several years. Her business acumen and personality combine well to produce excellent long term relationships combined with superior results. Natalia is one of the few executives I have worked with who is able to combine leadership with teamwork.
