• Execute Marketing Strategy: Cooperate with the HQ Marketing team to manage effective territorial plans, including planning and attending exhibitions, tradeshows, and conferences.
• Maintain Operational Excellence: Embed a "CRM Way of Life" using Salesforce as a daily standard tool; create accurate annual sales forecasts and operating budgets.
