Vania São José

Summary

I am a marketing executive with 17 years experience, graduated in advertising, postgraduate in business management at ESPM and specialized in data analysis in a 6-month bootcamp in Germany. I have worked in advertising agencies such as Africa and AlmapBBDO as account manager, strategic planner and business development, and as a marketing and growth manager at Mercado Livre, Rappi and Sproutfi. My strengths are developing a growth strategy with focus on customer acquisition and retention. I am very protagonist in everything I do and always have been recognized for being strategic due to my strong focus on business, the habit of looking for trends and insights to generate new actions, for my ability to manage projects with simultaneous priorities and for work with global teams with fluency in Spanish and English and Portuguese. As a next step, I'm looking for a position where I can leverage my previous knowledge, experience working as a team player and what I've learned traveling to other countries to see new cultures and to exceed common business goals.
