| Dear friend, Thank you for keeping an eye on my resume, particularly in light of the fact that I am considering new career alternatives. I am a Cum Laude Civil Engineer from INTEC and a Magna Cum Laude MBA from the University of Miami. I�m fluent in English and Spanish, and I also have a good working knowledge of Portuguese. Strong experience in business development, international business, operations, project management, advertising management, marketing, sales and management in general. I am very interested in advancing in my original field, Civil Engineering; however, I have developed a parallel career in business management and I will be very happy to continue excelling in that direction if the opportunity arises. As it turns out, I have learned and know each industry I work for, because I get involved 100% in my duties and responsibilities. I am computer inclined and savvy and I bring to the table expert management, phenomenal team playing and my engineering background. Over the last nine years I have been involved in different management areas of the telecommunications industry. Such experience led me to become the Director of Marketing, Sales and Business development in charge of the western hemisphere at Becker Avionics; and subsequently the Account Manager for Central America and the Caribbean at PanAmSat Corporation, the world's largest private satellite company. I have traveled the Americas north and south achieving my job duties, and I will travel light or heavy to meet my duties and responsibilities. As you can see by the attached resume, my achievements over the past twelve years have improved business. I feel certain I could make a significant contribution to your client�s business goals, exposure and cost reduction efforts. I recently relocated to Santo Domingo and my priority is to re-establish myself here professionally. I�m looking for a reasonable and flexible package in a recognized corporation. I have many references, success stories, good relations and mostly a great desire to work hard towards success in Santo Domingo. I would like to discuss this possibility and will appreciate if we might get together soon for a brief exploratory meeting. Thank you and feel free to call me at your convenience at 1-809-972-2020.
