His Interests
–
Fernando is a believer. He believes in collaboration, in win-win models, in partnership, in transparency. He left Spain in 2013, where he was working for a multinational company as sales manager and key account manager, and came to Cambodia to embrace new challenges. He spent the first year in Phnom Penh working as a volunteer with several NGOs and working on personal projects, then met Melon Rouge… and it was love at first sight!
His specialty is building long-term bonds with our clients—that he prefers to call partners—to help them feel as if they’ve been members of the Melon Rouge team from the very beginning.
