I'm an experienced international professional, having worked in IT (in both sales and translation/localization management (as a project manager), training, etc.) for 10 years.
I have plenty of international experienced and have lived in Europe, Latin America and Brazil. I have a BA in business with a Finance minor from one of the top management schools in Brazil and I currently speak fluent English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and I'm studying French and German, with a little knowledge of Mandarin.
Some of my clients include Microsoft, 3M, Olympus, Philips, McKinsey, Nokia, Visa, Special Olympics, Netg, PeopleSoft, Mangels, Bradesco, Sadia, John Deere, Ely Lilly, FMC Foodtech, among others.
I want to engage in a permanent or temporary position (consultant), preferably in an international business, especially for business and companies that want to understand and deal with foreign markets or high tech.
I have imediate availability to start and I'm currently in the US, so I can fly over for an interview. I need corporate sponsorship, since I don't have an H1 visa.
Please find below my resume with further details and do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks
