About Antonio

I have over 20 years of experience in the Retail world, always related to team management, store management, and sales.

I have held various positions, from salesperson to area manager, including roles such as zone manager, commercial director, or manager of my own company.
And I have worked for all types of retail companies, from family SMEs to national and multinational corporations.

During this time, it has become clear to me that there are 3 key points that are the differential value of retail companies.

In addition to developing an essential value in this sector.

And uniting the 3 key points with the value that differentiates me is what allows me to bring that external vision to your project that you need to take the next step.

The 3 key points are:

1. People in Retail matter. They truly matter.
Not as a brand slogan, but as a reality that I have proven works.

2. Your results are paramount.

3. Points one and two are not incompatible.
On the contrary, with people at the center, you will achieve better results.

And what is that differentiating value?

It is seeing beyond in conversations with teams and in store visits. "Seeing" what is not said, what you are not initially aware of, and analyzing it with a global vision, considering your company's needs. This "sixth sense" developed after thousands of conversations with hundreds of people in different roles and countless store visits.
