Rafael Secades Riestra’s Summary

At the present time, I have completed my Master studies in International Trade, organized by the Economic Development Agency of the Principality of Asturias (IDEPA), I am director and presenter of a regional radio program, and collaborate as an IT consultant. Within the one year master studies, I spent the first half studying in the third Chinese University about language, negotiation and Chinese culture; travelling through cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangdong, Suzhou, Macao, among others; and assisting to several fairs and events.

My main personal skills are oriented on communication and organization, leadership groups and public relations, with more than five years experience in management roles, being responsible of administration, cost control and daily maintenance of legal and tax commitments, between other duties. I have always complemented or reinforced my directive assignments with additional activities inside the world of communication media, serving as a support for my work, as well as a continuous training.

I am currently looking for new personal and professional goals that will allow me to achieve new targets, with availability to travel or relocate my residence indefinitely, highlighting my character main features of a likeness for interpersonal relationships, entrepreneur, committed, and accustomed to reach and look for new targets.
