Griselda began her professional career at UPS in Mexico as an Industrial Engineering Supervisor in 1991. In 1995 she was promoted to Operations Manager. Between 1995 and 2002, Griselda held several management positions including Operations Manager, Customer Service Manager, Industrial Engineering Section Leader, National Account Manager and Business Development Division Manager.
Two years later, Griselda was promoted to General Manager of the Dominican Republic, where her business acumen and leadership skills were essential in the implementation of UPS processes and procedures in the Dominican Republic.
Prior to joining UPS, Griselda worked for Phillips Mexicana as Purchasing and Imports Coordinator, and for Manpower as Assistant Director of Operations.
