João-Miguel R. MAGALHÃES
Multicultural marketing professional seeking a challenging marketing opportunity
I firmly believe that a product/project manager must have sales experience in order to get a better understanding of the customers spirit. Throughout my professional career, I have had the opportunity to perform both marketing and sales functions. These experiences allowed me to develop this valuable knowledge and unique skills necessary to excel in a marketing role.
Throughout all my experiences, academic background, passion and hard work have led me to pursue new challenges.
I’m at your disposal for further information and a future collaboration.
