About me

Two decades across management and finance.

Renato Soares

Renato Soares

Rio de Janeiro → Spain

I bring more than twenty years of experience in administration, sales and finance. My career includes supervising operations and teams, market development, regional sales management and, since 2019, financial advisory focused on budgeting, cash flow, expense analysis, investments and decision support.

My work combines strategic vision, analytical skills, disciplined execution and long-term relationships with clients and management.

I lived in Dublin, Ireland, in 2015-2016. Advanced English and continuously improving Spanish round out my profile for multicultural environments.
