I am looking for an opportunity to manage a dive operation, with or without a small resort or accommodation.
I am an experienced business manager with particular, quantifiable skills and experience in sales management (retail, consumer and business to business), operations management, marketing, business finance and training/staff development. I have demonstrated repeated success in increasing both revenues and profits in small businesses and business units worldwide.
I am highly motivated and dynamic with a professional and ethical approach. My main focuses are safety, customer services and quality, all of which are the building blocks of a solid reputation that is essential for increasing sales revenues and profitability within the business. My personable, positive and fun attitude is infectious and I am an excellent team worker, team builder and leader. I have conversational level Spanish.
Passionate about the marine environment, I am a PADI OWSI (MSDT on application) and looking to start an RYA Powerboat 2/Advanced captain course.
I am interested in professional quality operations or those that wish to become so and in return I am willing to give long term commitment to increase returns in your business.
My wife, an ex-expedition leader is also experienced in customer service, admin, management and accounts and could be part of the business if required.
I look forward to hearing from you.
