Background

About Carles Andreu

After more than 20 years working for different multinational companies like Beiersdorf/tesa, Robert Bosch and Nestlé, and living in different countries in Europe, I decided to come back to my home country and share my experience with companies, who want to grow the business and develop internationally. Core Expertise: • Global Leadership: I've had the opportunity to lead and grow businesses internationally based in Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, managing diverse teams and delivering results that matter. My focus has always been on empowering teams to excel. • Cross-Cultural Experience: Fluent in 8 languages, I don’t just work across borders – I build bridges between them. My experiences have taught me the value of collaboration in diverse cultural environments and great synergies to exploit. • Operational Excellence & Growth: From leading a HUB for South-West Europe to driving double-digit EBIT improvements at tesa Italy, I believe in achieving sustainable growth through innovation, teamwork, and strategic vision. What Drives Me: • At the heart of my career is a simple belief: people make the difference. Whether leading teams, transforming organizations, or managing complex international projects, I believe in the power of collaboration, trust, and shared purpose. My background in large corporate environments has reinforced this, showing me that true leadership goes beyond the bottom line – it's about inspiring people to achieve more together than they could alone. • My passion for continuous learning is what keeps me excited. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and I’ve learned as much from failures as from successes. I’m deeply committed to self-improvement, both in my professional journey and personal life. My Values: • Authenticity: I lead with honesty and integrity. I believe in being transparent with those around me, and I value building relationships based on trust. • Collaboration: Together, we’re stronger. I believe in the power of teamwork and collective intelligence, always striving to empower others and foster an inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard. • Curiosity & Growth: Lifelong learning isn't just a phrase for me; it's my daily reality. I’m constantly seeking new ways to improve and help those around me grow as well. 🤝 Let’s Connect: • I believe in the value of authentic connections.
