In my own words

Tomas

I am a motivated professional with desires to generate the best solutions and improve the whole business for a company with a strong culture an vision to impact the future.

During my whole life, I have always been looking for new opportunities to learn and also instill my experience in the different markets in which I worked.

My experience being a Mountain Bike racer for 10+ years helped me in being a passionate and outbound person who always strive to do the best in any situation. For the last 10 years, my work experience has helped me develop strong interpersonal skills with teammates as well as generate an analytical and problem-solving mindset, leadership skills and focus on business development and long-term relations with customers. I've used those skills with different departments such as sales, marketing, customer service, R&D, action sports distribution, environmental services and retail.

The words: Vision, Creativity, Motivation, and Leadership are my themes that could define my way of solving problems and maintaining the objectives of my teamwork. Innovation is something I always have in my head that gives me an interest in being in search of new opportunities in the world market. My experience studying and working in two different countries has given me the opportunity to increase my network with people and colleges from different parts of the world, such as South America, Asia, North America, and Europe.
