About Gilbert Saldívar (桑季博)

"Wow! They are all so happy!" was my reaction to the engineers' attitude change after my first win. For almost a year, I had managed a team of ten executive contributors, twelve Spanish translators, two word processors and a graphic designer, as well as the operational collaboration between American and Mexican partners, to deliver what PEMEX said was the best-quality turnkey Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) proposal they had ever reviewed.Now that news of the win had arrived, I was watching:- A quarter of the building's first floor come to life in a swarm of IT and construction activity- Engineers walking into work with joy and relief, unaware that many of their children were my college classmatesThe quest to continuously relive that moment of tangible contribution to the human condition has driven my career.-------------------------------------------Fluent in Spanish & Mandarin, I am an open, confident & engaged leader who empowers those around me to unleash explosive revenue growth by streamlining & scaling execution processes, even on a transnational scale. In my last two SalesOps roles, I designed & implemented tailored innovations and managed operations that organically achieved:--> 200% revenue growth in three years--> 335% revenue growth in five yearsBeyond my SalesOps background, the following highlights illustrate by three greatest top- and bottom-line business-value contributions across my most recent thirteen years of success:Global-Scale Project 1: As Total Safety’s Director of Asset Management, I managed a $500,000 annual budget and led/managed the initiative to implement enterprise-wide operational innovations in pursuit of an IPO:a. Helped reduce CapEx by $19MM (50%) in my first year.b. Implemented an inventory-audit program in five months across 20 countries: zero major errors.c. Applied a Scrum approach to debottlenecking inquiry responses at Saudi operations.Global-Scale Project 2: As Manager of Sales Administration & Proposals for KBR’s newly formed Technology Business Unit, I managed a $500,000 annual budget and helped achieve 335% revenue growth over five years by building and managing a scalable, cost-effective, eight-person Sales Operations team, workflow and business tools in Houston, London, Dubai, Delhi and Beijing (a KBR first).National-Scale Project: As Total Safety’s Director of Asset Management, I led/managed the initiative to reduce leakage across the 20 worst-performing US sites that drove $1MM in annual savings for four years.SalesForce - Workflow Design & Implementation
