Management & Marketing Specialist
  • Miami, FL
  • September 29, 2020

In my years of experience I've been fortunate to work in different industries (liquor, tobacco, perfumes, cosmetics, watches, and edibles) for both the travel retail and domestic markets. I've worked work with numerous reputable luxurious brands, as well as with a diversified group of vendors, suppliers, customers, and coworkers. I've managed accounts in NAM and LatAm as well as sell associates.

I am a driven individual with excellent work ethics; and as a goal oriented individual, I am always looking for ways to generate more business opportunities.
