As a Business Consultant at Solvo Global, I work with growing companies that need to scale operations without adding unnecessary overhead. I partner with leadership teams to integrate high-performing global talent directly into their organizations across functions like operations, finance, customer experience, logistics, and sales support. Our model allows companies to build dedicated teams that operate inside their workflows while Solvo manages the recruiting, HR, payroll, and infrastructure behind the scenes. The result is faster hiring, access to deeper talent pools, and meaningful cost efficiency while maintaining full operational control. I focus on helping organizations build scalable teams that grow with their business, not one-off staffing solutions.

I oversee marketplace strategy and revenue growth for Amazon storefronts, leading cross-functional teams across SEO, logistics, and advertising to drive consistent sales performance. I focus on building long-term client relationships, aligning strategies with consumer insights, and guiding accounts through compliance, branding, and optimization. My role combines analytical reporting, campaign execution, and hands-on coaching to strengthen conversion, retention, and profitability. We are a full-service Amazon management company that helps brands establish and grow their presence on Amazon. At SGH Consulting, we have a team of experts dedicated to providing a strong presence and consistent brand experience on Amazon that capitalizes on, rather than detracts from, efforts across other channels. At SGH Consulting, we understand that Amazon is the cornerstone of the customer journey, with 63% of online shoppers starting their product search on Amazon and 90% of online shoppers price-checking similar products on Amazon. Therefore, brands lacking a cohesive Amazon strategy are losing a significant amount of demand and revenue, being driven by paid marketing strategies off of Amazon. Join us on a journey through time and discover how SGH Consulting can help you accelerate and sustain growth on Amazon.

I lead product launches from concept to delivery, shaping formulations and market approaches that align with consumer insights and regional trends. I manage B2B and DTC channels, negotiate contracts, and accelerate timelines to expand market reach and increase online sales. Partnering with R&D, marketing, and operations teams, I drive collaboration, implement campaigns, and deliver measurable territory growth and brand visibility across North America. Desincha is now a global food and beverage company. I'm honored to be leading a strong team of professionals into the complex market that is the USA and Canada, bringing quality, tried and tested healthy tea and coffee products from Brazil. Desincha has shown amazing growth over the last 2 years. We now have 250 employees, our products are on sale in over 1,000 retail stores, and our online footprint has grown tremendously. We just reached 2 million Instagram followers in February 2020 and have huge plans for the future with many new products in the pipeline. One of my favorite responsibilities is new product development. For me, there's nothing better than seeing a product grow from an idea into a great-selling item.

I provided tailored IT and software solutions that aligned with client goals, helping organizations streamline operations and improve productivity.
