Pedro Quintana

Customer and people-oriented, data-driven manager/director with a strong sense of ownership and drive toward key business goals with high interest and expertise in business development, growth and commercial strategies. Strong abilities to successfully bring value to large companies and entrepreneurship projects by driving sales, profitability, and revenue growth through innovative strategies, teamwork and curiosity. Passionate about solving challenging problems by working effectively with diverse teams and coming up with the best solutions to move people and organizations to act.

In my professional career I have developed a profound interest in business development and growth strategies. Initially exposed to the post-merger expansion project for LATAM Airlines working on the team that designed the new flight network, identifying internal synergies and new market opportunities. In 2015, worked with a leading team, positioning Colombia as the country with the highest growth revenue in Booking.com initial operations in LATAM.

Before COVID, I successfully created, led, and sold a hotel chain brand and its operations that grew to five properties nationwide and a team of 40+ employees, after three years. Finally, I led the effort to strengthen Banco Falabella's value proposition to increase customer engagement in the credit and debit card ecosystem. I am now confident on how I can structure, promote, and negotiate different business models and high impact projects.
