I had the opportunity to work in very diverse workplaces around the world, empowering people to bring solutions that offer a constant benefit to my customers, shareholders, environment, and society. My curiosity on innovation and self-development led me to grow my corporate commercial and business development skills set from packaging in food and beverages into electronics, software, and digital services. I have more than 20+ years of international experience in food packaging, services, and high tech industrial equipment, IT & software, growing constantly Global (multibillion-dollar brands), KAM & Global Accounts; increasing market share, revenue & profit results in all continents. I have led the successful introduction of new products in multiple markets. Currently, I lead the Commercial Operations for SIG in the Middle East and Africa with 140 FTE. Previously I focused on commercializing digital and software applications that improve processes and collaboration. I have a BSc in Chemical Engineer and MBA with additional studies in digital transformation, to lead an innovative business development mindset. My passion for people development took me to lead effectively multicultural teams with strong sales results, in various roles from 6 different cities that I´ve lived in, across Arabia, North East Asia & Oceania, Europe, Southern Africa & LATAM. My leadership skills were used to develop a common vision across diverse & multi-disciplinary global and regional teams, driving collaboration, embracing deep business understanding to align strategic objectives to secure seamless execution for market development. I always favored sales-client relationships with Key Account Manager and Commercial skills. In 2004, I have made a decision on gaining invaluable exposure to the nuances of doing business in 7 Arab countries, based 5 years in Saudi Arabia & 2 years in Dubai. During my time in Saudi Arabia, I developed a social school feeding program to aid Yemen's economic development for the benefit of more than 100,000 children. Later, I was deployed to South Korea as Regional Mkt. Dir for Australia, Japan, New Zealand & South Korea, where I operationalized global strategies in the region. After three years in this role, I moved to Sweden taking on a global position as head of Business Development PepsiCo Global Account (#1 account in Tetra Pak) orchestrating the activities of >20 international teams, FTE 60. Three years later, I moved to South Africa as head of Sales for Key Accounts for Southern Africa. In 2018, I moved back to my home country Mexico, where I had the opportunity to work for Samsung Electronics and to be part of a startup on digital services. In 2021 I moved back to Dubai. jesus.ortega.int.executive@gmail.com
