Your Company
You know Cuba's economy is growing and has potential.
Your product or service covers a local need.
You are aware of first mover advantages.
Your objective is to establish and grow a profitable business in Cuba
You are searching for somebody to represent your Company.
Sending expatriates oversees is one of the most expensive HR decisions your company will make and your decision on who to send should be right on first choice. This person must be able to perform the tasks required, he must be able to do this in a politically and culturally new and complex environment, and he must be willing to stay in the country long enough to meet your objectives.
My Motivation
I visited Cuba for the first time in 1994, when the 'Period Especial' was at its worst. Since then I travelled back frequently and was able to experience first hand that, the island, the people and the economy are changing. It's a fascinating environment and I have decided that I want to live and work in Havana for several years. Now I'm looking for the appropriate job opportunity.
I grew up as the child of expatriate parents, and have lived in several countries in Africa and Europe. The need to experience an exciting private and economic environment is rooted in my upbringing. My professional education and first work-experience I have gathered in my country of origin. Having proven that I can excel in my job at home, I want to follow my instinct and return to a warmer, less structured, more challenging and more diverse working environment. I hate repetition and thrive on new challenges thus I believe establishing and growing a business in Havana is just the kind of challenge I am looking for.
Do you believe your objectives to establish a profitable, healthy business in Cuba and my longing to face just such a challenge in Havana match? Please contact me at job@cubatrip.com to see whether we should follow up and get acquainted more closely.
