VP of Business Development at RHI Magnesita
Hello, I’m Tulio! I have over 14 years of experience leading business development, engineering, and strategic operations for global industrial leaders like RHI Magnesita.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in bridging the gap between high-level strategy and complex execution. I’ve scaled new business units from zero to €4M in 18 months in the challenging China market, led cross-border supply chain localizations, and served as Chief of Staff to a CEO of a €3.5B multinational, where I supported 8 M&A transactions and global board-level decisions.
I can help you with: China Operations & Supply Chain: I built a business unit from €0 to €4M in 18 months in Shanghai. I can help you vet suppliers, hire local teams, and avoid the "hidden traps" of Chinese manufacturing. Operational Efficiency & OKRs: I cut executive meeting times by 30% and saved €1.4M/year by localizing engineering services. I install management rituals that actually turn strategy into weekly execution. M&A & Boardroom Strategy: As a former Chief of Staff to a global CEO, I’ve supported 8 M&A deals and Board-level decisions. I know exactly how to prepare a company for sale or scale. Industrial Cost-Cutting: I delivered €20M+ in savings through raw material optimization and tripled global recycling rates.
