Alfredo Alcalá Medina Email & Phone Number

Since 2010 leading international sales teams in the metal packaging sector.When I finished my Law Degree at the University of Santiago de Compostela, and after three years of professional practice as a lawyer, I immediately showed my preference for activities related to management, accepting the challenge of opening two commercial delegations, in Vigo and Braga (Portugal) of an industrial packaging company. The skills I showed during this stage catapulted me, after barely a year and a half in the company, to the position of Group Purchasing Manager, reporting to the Managing Director.The adventure ended after eight years, with the financial crisis of 2008, which led the company to cease activities and dissolve.A year of transition allowed me to continue my French studies at the Official School of Languages and complete the Master's Degree in Sustainable Development Management at the University of Vigo with the best record of the promotion.Already in 2010 I integrated the company Impress Metal Packaging as Sales Manager for Spain of the metal packaging division for canned fish and seafood, reporting to the SW Europe Regional Sales Director, with the challenge of integrating the recently acquired MEGASA into the commercial structure of the Group, with an annual sales budget of nearly 70 million euros and a team of 4 people.Shortly after my arrival, Impress integrated the Ardagh Group and my position was confirmed.After five years demonstrating my leadership skills and talent for working in a multidisciplinary environment on the most diverse projects within the group (supply chain, central quality, R&D...), I was promoted in 2015 to the position of Regional Sales Director for Spain and Latin America, reporting directly to the global Commercial Director.A little over a year later, and in response to my interest in exploring opportunities for geographical mobility within the Group, I accepted the challenge of moving with my family to Brittany, France, thus shifting my geographical responsibility to managing the key accounts in France and prospecting and improving our position in Africa, always reporting to the global Sales Director.Since November 2019, with the merger of the Food & Specialities activities of Ardagh and the Exal Group, to form Trivium Packaging, I have combined my commercial responsibility with the leadership for the Seafood sector of the Trivium Commercial Excellence project

Listed skills include Team Leadership, Strategic Planning, International Sales, Sales Management, and 4 others.
