Virginia Padilla

I am a results-driven sales leader with a background as a Regional Sales Director in the CPG food and beverage industry, known for driving sustainable growth and building high-performing teams. I have a proven track record of increasing revenue by 16% through strategic planning, disciplined execution, and strong cross-functional collaboration.

My expertise spans the full commercial landscape, including sales forecasting, budget management, and P&L ownership, allowing me to make data-driven decisions that balance growth with profitability. I am experienced in developing and executing trade marketing strategies that strengthen brand presence, optimize promotional spend, and drive velocity at the shelf.

A key strength of mine is coaching and developing talent. I’ve led and mentored sales teams to exceed targets by creating clear accountability, refining sales processes, and fostering a culture focused on performance and continuous improvement. I believe strong teams are built through consistent development, clear communication, and leading by example.

In addition to sales leadership, I bring a strong operational mindset. I am highly effective at aligning sales strategy with business objectives, improving processes, and identifying opportunities for efficiency and scale. Whether managing key accounts, supporting customer success, or streamlining operations, I focus on delivering measurable, bottom-line impact.

I am now seeking remote opportunities where I can contribute my experience across sales leadership, customer success, and business operations—helping organizations grow revenue, strengthen their teams, and operate more effectively.
