Background

About Geraldo Pradella Neto

Procurement and commodities trading professional with over 10 years of experience across global organizations including ADM, Franklin Templeton, MBRF, and Indorama Ventures, spanning companies with revenues exceeding USD 30 billion and assets under management of over USD 1 trillion.My background covers strategic sourcing, commodity trading, market intelligence, supplier negotiation, and cross-functional execution across international supply chains. I led on-site due diligence workstreams for a USD 360 million acquisition in Thailand, represented Indorama Ventures in executive-level negotiations exceeding USD 1 million overseas, and was selected as 1 of 7 participants from over candidates for MBRF's global Fast Track leadership program.I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and an International Diploma in Business Administration, which support a structured and analytical approach to solving business problems while keeping decisions grounded in practical reality.After relocating to Canada in 2024, I made the deliberate decision to restart my career in a smaller organization in order to gain direct exposure to day to day operations, field realities, and execution challenges. That experience gave me a broader understanding of how businesses function at ground level and strengthened my ability to connect strategy with real operational needs.I am driven by clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement. I do my best work in environments that value execution, adaptability, and sustainable growth, especially where the goal is not only to solve immediate problems, but to build stronger systems for the future.
