Summary

Dependable and trained to excel in high-stress environments, with 24 years of experience as an employee of Del Monte Philippines, Inc under the Plantation group in Bukidnon. Throughout my tenure, I focused primarily on the fresh fruit business, overseeing tasks such as preparing annual operating budgets, monitoring expenditures, and estimating fruit quantities. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in establishing and writing standard operating procedures, while also generating weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports. As head of QA, I spearheaded the implementation of a comprehensive quality program for the company's growing and fresh production business. During this time, I successfully managed customer quality complaints and distributors' quality claims. Furthermore, my responsibilities took me to Dubai, Korea, Singapore, and China where I collaborated with distributors to address quality concerns. A true team player committed to delivering exceptional results in any professional setting.
