Gerardo Serio
I am Italian and have been living in France for a long time.
Working in International sales has been a natural choice to me.
After working many years in several full-time positions, I decided to offer my expertise on a part-time basis to SMEs.
I have an experience of over 20 years in direct sales, as much as in building networks of distributors and other business partners.
Hence, I have been able to develop my employers' turnover, often from scratch.
The most exciting challenge for me is opening new markets.
Main industry expertise: consumer goods, business services.
Languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, German.
I am French and have lived in the United States and Belgium.
Passionate about foreign languages and cultural exchanges, I quickly made my passion my job. I needed a sweet mix of travel, discovery, encounters: international trade came to me.
After 20 years of employment in two French SMEs manufacturing medical devices in positions of manager and international director, since 2021 I have been helping SMEs open new market abroad.
I built and managed distribution networks (up to fifty partners).
I also recruited export staff and contributed to the influence of regional SMEs in Hauts de France.
What do I like most? Find the winning manufacturer-distributor match and take into account the specific characteristics of each market.
Main industry expertise: health and medical devices, cosmetics.
Languages: French, English, Spanish and a few words of Italian, Dutch and Arabic. Always helpful!
I help small and medium-sized industrial businesses expand internationally. I work for them part-time.
With 25 years of experience in different fields of manufacturing (metallurgy, plastics, textiles, technical textiles), I bring both strategic and operational expertise.
Passionate about intercultural work, I have lived in Mexico and studied in Ireland—experiences that deepen my understanding of markets and cultures.
My goal is to secure and accelerate my clients’ international growth with method, agility, and commitment.
Main industry expertise: industrial supplies, professional equipment, packaging and consumables for the food industry, accessories for construction.
Languages: French, English, Spanish and some Italian.
