CAREER OBJECTIVES
Be part of a worldwide/international company that gives me the chance to prove my acquired skills and challenges me in growing from the professional and personal point of views. My ideal job involves working and dealing with customers (internal and external) being responsible for Product Management and Training with the primary focus to lead to their full satisfaction. I’m an enthusiastic technical and web analytics expert. I’ve decided to pursue product-marketing career and I’m willing to continue on this path seeking new challenges, but I don’t exclude a different career path as long as it involves a client facing role.
