Professionally and academically I have devoted all my efforts to the areas of International Trade, Finance and Marketing. In my perspective these areas are the key for the good development of business and the points that make the enterprises stronger, always considering the importance of business ethics and the economies of social wellbeing.

In today's world cannot overemphasize the importance of human interaction, especially the intercultural that allows us a professional, social and personal enrichment. The positive attitude, learning and a constant improvement are used as pillars on which I build my definition of philosophy of life."You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi.

Passion, motivation, dedication, persistence, method and achievement of goals are some of the nouns that can describe me. My strengths are adaptability, emotional intelgence, organization, analytical vision, planning, strategic definition, results orientation (focus on goals), flexibility and adaptability. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change" Charles Darwin.

My goal is to find an opportunity that allows me to develop myself in a professional and personal way in a multicultural environment. And improve day by day.

My name is Samuel Orrit.
