Maite Ribera

Hi, I'm Maite Ribera and I'm from Hondarribia.

In the last years I have lived more abroad than here.

When I turned 18 I went to Santander where I studied Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations at CESINE University and London Metropolitan University.

Also in Santander I faced for the first time the working world collaborating in real projects for companies in different sectors of the Cantabrian Community.

During my career, I combined my studies with work experiences abroad: living in Australia, Holland and Canada have given me unique experiences, where I have learned to cope with different cultures and languages. I keep Spanish and English, but if I have to express myself in another language, I would do my best to get what I need.

Upon my return from this last country, I started working as Head of Communication and Organization of Events and Fairs for a nice company from Gipuzkoa and finally, with all this experience I have landed in Onura to help our clients to identify their needs and guide them in their internationalization process.

The industry is growing and new markets are opening up. As Inside Sales at Onura, I detect, identify and study the potential of the target markets. From there, I create databases and filter the commercial contacts until I get to meet them in order to make a sale. This Inside Sales position gives me the opportunity to get to know different sectors and contact clients from all over the world. These points motivate me to continue learning and growing in the world of sales.

I will keep the phrase of Tom Hopkins with which I identify myself: "I never see failure as failure, only as a game that I must play and win".
