About Osvaldo Franco

I am a Managing Director with solid carreer in the corporate field. I have had executive roles in prominent multinational companies, from fast moving consumer goods to semi-durable and industrial B2B.In my current role as General Manager at Riel Americano SACI, I took on the challenge of enriching the legacy of quality and innovation of a 50 years old Argentine company that, based on a strong vocation for excellence, is a benchmark in the field of architecture and decoration in our country. Leading a committed and passionate team, we aim to be the experts, collaborating with architects and designers to create unique environments in each of their projects.Prior to this stage, I had the chance to lead, for 8 years, the Argentine subsidiary of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co, a world leader in the technology business applied to cleaning processes. In this expansion process, we reached record levels of business in Argentina, both in volume and in turnover, increasing the presence of the brand through strategic commercial development and the constant encouragement of a culture of collaboration.
