TOA Corporation (Kobe-Japan)Country Manager (MKT, sales, technical support)
Nov. 2013 - Apr. 2017Brazil
Responsible for all TOA Corporation marketing and sales activities in my country, working close to and supporting distributors, project companies, system integrators, contractors, installers and end users. Also reporting to TOA Japan HQ about the current Brazilian market situation. Since the beginning of 2013 I helped TOA Corporation Japan to reach a new sales record in Brazil. Thanks to my personal efforts, TOA brand name and brand value quickly increased in my country. In the years between 2015 and 2016, besides the economic crisis, TOA sales continued growing in Brazil, thanks to the good support I was giving to our customers and partners, built on a strong business relationship with all the stakeholders in our market. Products that were never sold before in Brazil started to be known and installed. In order to accomplish this task, I kept visiting many customers one by one, sometimes arranging virtual meetings, giving workshops and training sessions, and also starting new marketing activities initiated by me, including local website, Facebook Page and an active Youtube Channel full of training videos. I established a new regional distributor and started new key contacts with partners and customers, increasing TOA brand awareness in my country. I also stablished the first Brazilian authorized maintenance shop. The most important Brazilian projects where TOA solutions were specified were and continue being monitored by me, as many of them still count with my help on the technical design and after sales services. I can list some important TOA installations in Brazil where I helped with the project design, working closely to the project designers or system integrators, as follows :
- Atlantica Hotels-S. Caetano do Sul-SP
- Toyota-Fábrica de Porto Feliz-SP
- Espaço Cultural Porto Seguro-S.Paulo-SP-Brasil
- Colégio Soka – S. Paulo-SP Brasil
