Global marketing leader

Summary

Francisco Martins, MBA
In today's digital world, marketing travels faster than ever before. The worldwide audience is much larger and the reach is much greater. I have always taken a holistic approach in leveraging my deep experience across marketing and international business to position organizations for success.
In addition to my marketing management experience, my ability to speak both Portuguese and Spanish has helped organizations working within Latin America and other parts of the world.

My background includes examples of where I have introduced new products and services in Europe and the Americas. Various product launches and international business objectives, such as market entry into Brazil and a company brand launch in Germany.

People say that I am adaptable because I have worked in so many industries. The truth is, amplifying messaging and content is my passion. I enjoy doing it regardless of who the players are and / or what the 'product' may be.

The biggest impact I have had on organizations is my ability to develop a plan and follow through on that plan with great results.

My proven ability to combine vision, creativity, and strong business acumen with well-developed project management and leadership qualities, has supported go-to-market efforts and positioned companies for success.

Why did you choose your profession?
When I was going into college I knew that I wanted to be in global business but wasn't sure in what capacity. So I decided to major in International Business and also study overseas in the Netherlands. The experience changed my life. I knew at that point that I wanted to be able to mold my abilities into promoting products and services globally.

The rest is history. I went onto Graduate School to obtain my MBA and have been in Marketing ever since.
