I am experienced and goal-oriented international business executive with proven track record of overcoming business challenges. I have excellent overall understanding and capability to lead both business and people. I am passionate about strategic thinking, internationality and people management. I have gained comprehensive understanding in international business through import and export responsibilities, working abroad (USA, Germany) and other international business relations. With own brand I was heavily involved in the whole value chain, from R&D and subcontracting to sales and marketing. As I have worked with consumer brands, category and brand management together with consumer understanding are close to my heart. In my recent job I have dived into commodity market and B2B sales - a very interesting add-on to my professional experience. My key strength is the analytical approach in planning combined with flexible and result-oriented execution. I can visualize clearly the big picture, seize essentials and lead people towards the goal. In fact, I have been given credit for being a superior with clear goals, open policies and good cooperation skills. I get excited on new challenges, even though they would push me from the comfort zone. If you think that we might have a common challenge to tackle, I am open to discuss.You can contact me by 📞 +358 50 3365 733 📩 pirjo dot talka (a) gmail dot comCORE COMPETENCIES📌 Leading business operations: strategy, budgeting, P/L responsibility, brand development, sales, marketing.📌 International Trade & Relations: import, export, subcontracting, cultural knowledge through living and working abroad.📌 Leadership: leading units, teams and people, commitment and motivation, re-organization, management of change.KEYWORDS#international business #strategy #leadership #business development #team-building #people skills #multicultural #category management #P&L #brand building #subcontracting #R&D #project management #e-commerce #fmcg #b2bsales #director #consumer goods #well-being #health care #commodity #kansainvälinen #strategia #valmentava johtaminen
