Biography

I have been working at CORPEI for 22 years in which I have promoted trade organizing more than 50 promotion events (trade missions, business matchmakings, international fairs) abroad. I believe that what has given me the most satisfaction over these years has been the management of programs with international cooperation funds since we have multiplied the resources provided and support a significant number of MSMEs that today are consolidated in the local market and/or exporting to different markets. In recent years I have managed a couple of programs aim to promote innovation, quality, business skills of SMEs. I have a Masters Degree in International Business and Negotiation at the Université d’Angers in France. My previous job was Commercial assistant at the International Department at the Caisse Régionale du Crédit Agricole in Nantes (France).

We would like to expand our network with Inter-american companies in order to assist SMEs but also to jointly participate in cooperation programs.

In the last 12 months we have specialized in holding virtual events through specialized platforms and we would love to share this experience.
