PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Rosaliene Bacchus – the founder of RB International Trade Services – graduated
from the University of Guyana, Republic of Guyana, a member state of CARICOM
and South America’s only English-speaking nation. She majored in geography and
gained a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Honors).

After six years of teaching geography and art (drawing and watercolor painting) at
the secondary-school level, Rosaliene changed careers and moved into the
business world.

As a confidential executive secretary for over six years, she honed her secretarial,
organizational and administrative skills at Shell Antilles & Guianas Ltd. and Barclays
Bank PLC in Georgetown, Republic of Guyana.

When Rosaliene migrated to Northeast Brazil in 1987, her fluency in English was the
stepping-stone to a new career in international trade. In Fortaleza, capital of the
State of Ceara, Brazil, she obtained her technical training in international commerce
through various technical courses during the period 1994 to 2001, She also
participated in diverse trade seminars, conferences, and fairs in Ceará.

Through demonstrated capacity, organizational skills and outstanding performance,
she moved up from her first position as an import/export assistant and secretary at
Emitrade Marketing International Ltd. (1989-1992) to managerial positions – import
and/or export manager – in the companies listed below.

Arisa–Agroindustrial e Reflorestadora S.A. (1992-1994) – Largest fresh melon
exporter of the State of Ceará to England, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and
Holland. Importation of fruit cartons (Spain), melon seeds (Holland and the USA),
and irrigation equipment (Israel).
Lidema Comercio e Importacao Ltda. (1994-2000) – Large importer of consumer
goods from the USA, Europe and Hong Kong. Marketed goods mainly through
their six retail stores under the registered name of ShopWell.
Bermas Industria e Comercio Ltda. (2000-2003) – Joint-Venture company
between the Italian Rino Mastrotto Group and the Brazilian Bertin Group.
Producer and exporter of finished cow leather for upholstery and cut and sewn
covers for settees. Clients in Canada, USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Moving to Southern California, USA, in 2003, Rosaliene was faced with new
professional challenges and opportunities. Two years of working at the second-
largest retail giant, Target Corporation, brought new insights about corporate
America, the retail market – marketing strategies, product design, and outsourcing of
production – and American consumer behavior.

As an entrepreneur, Rosaliene brings to the marketplace an extensive knowledge of
international trade business and business practices in general as well as skills in
organization, planning, business administration, work relationships, customer
service, after-sales support, training, and computer technology.

Integrity is doing what is right in spite of the cost
