Background

About Elena Clarke

I am an experienced Sales Support Supervisor with a demonstrated history of working in the food & beverages industry. Strong support professional skilled in Negotiation, Food & Beverage, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), English, and Management. With the world becoming more and more globalised, communication and intercultural understanding are becoming more and more relevant. As a fluent speaker of English, Japanese and Russian, I consider the aforementioned talents to be my expertise, having lived, worked and studied in each country, absorbing as much cultural nuance as I could. With that said, I love to learn and develop my skills and hope to weave more languages, skills and experiences into my repertoire as often as possible. With over 10 years’ experience in Sales managing accounts and leading a small support team, I have had many opportunities to learn and grow. Notably, conflict resolution and transparency, general management and even the ability to teach, present and demonstrate are no stranger to me as a first point of contact to many of my companies’ customers and my own subordinates alike. Optimism and creativity energise me, and I will always strive to draw this out of my myself and my team. It is important for me to recognise and nurture talents / potential in my subordinates, turn their weakness into strength, lead them and motivate them to better themselves. I am interested to learn about other industries such as tourism; hotel management; wealth management; private investment; property sourcing, investment and development; TV production. I am also passionate about environment, renewable energy and sustainability. I am inspired by passionate people who are true to themselves and dare to do something different and follow their dreams against all odds. I want to connect with them. I want to be one of them. If there is a problem - I find a solution. If there is a need - I find the way.
