Expert Details

Latin America Marketing Sales & Distribution - Spanish & Portuguese

ID: 727580 Minnesota, USA

Request Expert

Expert has decades of experience in the manufacture and distribution of mining equipment and other industrial products throughout all of North and South America; and he applies his fluency in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese - and his in-country business networks - to find appropriate channels and channel partners for the profitable sale and distribution of industrial products in Latin American markets.

In more recent years, he has acquired substantial experience introducing new, high-quality medical instruments and other medical devices into Latin American markets.

Having lived and/or worked in almost every country in Latin America and built business networks in both medical and industrial products markets, he has acquired the ability to help U.S.-based manufacturers evaluate the likely success of their products in specific Latin American markets. This prior experience has enabled him to help U.S. manufacturers find the quickest, most sustainable, way to generate profitable sales in particular markets - once it has been determined that the client company's products do have a chance of success in these overseas markets.
