Background

About Ignacio Pugliese

I built most of my professional experience moving across functions and geographies within Unilever -a highly respected FMCG Company in Latin America- which has grown for years at double digits thanks to the strength of a Multinational Company but empowered with genuine local roots. By 2015 I moved to Grupo Bimbo where I am now, leading Modern Trade Sales for Bimbo-Barcel Mexico So throughout these years I gained wide business acumen, strategic thinking and team building/coaching skills that allowed me to deliver sustained results and growth. I also lived crucible moments such as fierce competitive battles against P&G or Nestlé, run CD Operations under Argentina strong devaluation, or having to lead a Marketing project from scratch -now rolled out across the Globe- being just a junior manager.
