Andres Cespedes

👋🏽 Hi, I'm Andres Cespedes, an Experienced business professional with a track record of success in sales, marketing, and business management, and a passion for renewable energy. Skilled in solar system development, sales coordination, and customer relationship management.

🎓 With an MBA from University Canada West and ongoing Scrum certification, I'm always seeking to expand my knowledge and drive results in all areas of responsibility. I've demonstrated my expertise by implementing successful strategies and programs that have significantly increased sales, improved customer loyalty, and enhanced employee engagement.

👨‍💻 As a Solar Business Development Manager at Milani Electrical ϟ Solar, I lead the development and sales of solar systems, coordinating cross-functional teams and analyzing the solar energy market to identify new growth opportunities. I maintain strong customer relationships, ensuring their needs are met and fostering repeat business.

Previously, as a Solar Estimator & Designer at Penfolds Roofing & Solar, I utilized my analytical skills and expertise in software tools like Aurora Solar to design optimal solar energy solutions for commercial, farm, and residential customers. I created professional solar reports and proposals, providing sales quotes and estimates while ensuring compliance with relevant codes and regulations.

My experience also includes managing product development as an Associate Product Manager at Gramuncol SAS, negotiating with suppliers to secure high-quality materials, and implementing successful pricing strategies to increase profit margins while maintaining customer satisfaction. As General Manager at Kenko Food, I implemented innovative programs to improve employee engagement and customer loyalty, exceeding sales targets through data-driven menu improvements and successful social media marketing campaigns.

In my previous role as Export Manager at RV Stone Supply, I developed and implemented innovative sales strategies that resulted in a 60% sales increase in the Latin American market. I established and maintained strong relationships with local freight forwarders and agents to facilitate seamless shipping arrangements between India and Latin America.

With fluency in both English and Spanish, I'm ready to take on new challenges and continue growing in my career. Let's connect and see how we can work together to drive results!
