I help startups and established organizations grow and scale global businesses by developing and executing strategies that drive global business expansion, foreign investments, and multinational market penetrations. I am a visionary, growth-focused executive with key experience in leading all aspects of international business establishment and development, including strategic planning, business expansion, import/export management, regulatory compliance, and strategic alliance building. I am a strategic thinker with strong background in leading the successful global expansion of multiple businesses, building high-value partnerships with global stakeholders, and developing long-term strategic plans to contribute to long-term success. Following are some of my key contributions to different companies: ☛ Established and led the global division for a franchise brand and became the sole U.S. strategic developer for a partner in the Riviera Maya. ☛ Increased international referrals from 30% to 60% by developing and implementing detailed business plans and market strategies every year. ☛ Worked collaboratively with U.S. Commercial Services and the Idaho Department of Commerce to enhance government affairs and build strong relationships with trade offices in Taiwan, China, and Mexico. ☛ Supported local companies to expand internationally and achieve industry awards by actively participating in a Clean Tech Dedication Mission and chairing the Education Committee for the Idaho District Export Council. ☛ Secured the first export license to China since 1978, a process that took three years. Managed the export of soil and animal products, resulting in $6M in annual sales. My expertise spans foreign investments, real estate, and cross-cultural negotiations with a deep understanding of diverse business cultures, regulatory environments, and import/export operations. ✉ Please don’t hesitate to send me a message via LinkedIn messaging or email (global@denissemacias.com).
