About Raúl Blanco

Professional with extensive expertise in Sales at high level, within Spain, and internationally, with special emphasis in Europe, Middle East and Africa. In different sectors: Wine & Spirits, Logistics & Transportation, Metals & Minerals, Sports or Aviation.I am a creative and outgoing person, moved by goals and motivations. After finishing my studies, I decided to break all the established rules and do something completely different. I had the opportunity to travel the world, as it was one of my dreams and I became a cabin crew. I flew over 3 years everywhere, and simultaneously created a brand called ZooWave, which consisted in organising electronic music events in Dubai. As well as continuing at the same time with my post-graduate studies.An offer to be part of and international sport project, made me leave Dubai coming back to my country, where I continued travelling all over the world developing this project in different countries of Africa.All this global experience made me passionate about International Trade, which lead me to study a Masters in International Trade & Business to continue with my second Masters degree. I was part of the sales department of the #1 on-demand Premium Freight company in Europe, an exponentially growing group, that bases its growth on digitalisation. And nowadays, I am part of the Export Department of one of the most emblematic wineries located in the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero, Spain.MOTIVATION and DEDICATION means SUCCESS in every project.
