About Alfonso Garces

As an MPD Packaging Engineer at Duracell Inc, I utilize my industrial engineering skills and extensive experience in product, packaging, CQV, lines start up and materials innovation to deliver high-quality and cost-effective solutions for the battery market. I have been in this role since September 2022, after investing over five years as a 3D Scan/Revit Drafter/Engineer in Training/Facility Manager at 2KM Architects, Inc, where I reported directly to the principals and led several projects aimed at improving the efficiency and sustainability of office and field operations.With more than 20 years of experience in the FMCG industry, both in manufacturing and R&D settings, I have developed strong expertise in project management, new product and material design, lean six sigma methodologies, problem-solving and root cause analysis, as well as QA auditing and QCCVQ vertical start-ups (VSU). I have worked with leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, Grupo Mistral, and C.A. Cervecera Nacional, contributing to the development and launch of innovative products and packaging for the cosmetics, paper products, and brewery industries. I am proficient in Spanish and possess a strong command of business English, both spoken and written. I am always eager to learn new skills and embrace change, as I believe these are essential for staying ahead of market trends and meeting customer needs.
