How I Can Help You

I am retired from Philip Morris International where I was the Export Manager and Administrative Manager for the export division of Philip Morris Latin America. Our objective was to fulfill the cigarette requirements of the Duty Free and Caribbean customers. Since I was retired I have started two companies one first an energy drink distributor that was subsequently sold. The second company which is ongoing has developed several coffee milk beverages and found customers for them. Also we are exporting cereals manufactured in Argentina to China. The professional experiences that I have acquired are: 1. Organizational - how to set up and manage projects and offices. 2. Decision making - what decisions to make in house and when to go outside, where to look for information, 3. Structure - for the organization, how to decide what structure you need and then to verify what structure you can afford. 4. Financial - how to budget both costs and revenue. 5. Logistical - how to decide the most efficient way to deliver goods services to a market.
