About Activity

I am an international and multilingual business professional, having lived for 20 years in Spain, 7 years in England and 7 years in China, currently in Shanghai. I speak, read and write fluently in Chinese, Spanish and English and conversant in four other languages. I have more than 18 years professional experience working for international businesses in a multilingual environment, especially working with colleagues from all over China and other parts of Asia. During the last 2 years I have gained considerable experience in sales, developing and leading a new project and establishing a new branch within the international trading and sales of food and drink, primarily oil and wine. I left my job in the summer as I realized it limited my career development and personal growth. Determined to take the time to explore other career opportunities, I have now decided to seek a position where I can grow and develop as a professional, putting my transferable skills and experience to better use. I am conscious that my skills are in business development, sales, recruiting and HR and now seek the following opportunities: • Recruiting, Resources management, talent acquisition, training and development. • Project coordinator. • Consultancy. • Sales: products, services, and solutions. • Contact support • Business develop • Operations • Retailers Business Team Although recruiter, consultant and business developer are my top priority choices, I am open to consider any interesting opportunities where I can put my strong international experience and language abilities into action. Please feel free to download my trilingual resume (English, Spanish and Chinese) attached to this summary, where I describe all my relevant experience and educational background, which I can discuss more thoroughly during the interview in any of those three languages.
