Summary

With over two decades of experience in program management, engineering management, and strategic operations in the manufacturing industry, I have honed my expertise in overseeing large-scale projects and leading diverse teams. My career spans multiple international assignments, including senior roles in Brazil, China, and France, where I have successfully managed end-to-end project lifecycles, from the bidding phase to post-launch operations. At Melissa France, operational excellence is the heartbeat of my role as Chief Operating Officer, where I've dedicated over a year and a half to enhancing systems and process efficiencies. My strategic and operational objectives focus on improving profitability and ensuring our activities exceed industry standards of quality and compliance. Previously, as a Senior Executive Manager at Michael Page, I led a team with a clear vision for success in technical recruitment, driving forward strategies that consistently delivered high-caliber talent. Our achievements in recruitment were a testament to our ability to understand client needs and find innovative solutions. Fluent in multiple languages, I bridge cultural divides, enabling seamless international project management, and always aim to contribute to an organization that values integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement.
