Carina A. Gimenez Honored for Excellence in Telecommunications

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, December 15, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Carina A. Gimenez, Commercial Director for Optus, was recently named a VIP member of Worldwide Branding. This special distinction honors individuals who have shown exceptional commitment to achieving personal and professional success.

Ms. Gimenez possesses more than two decades of experience in commercial roles across banking and telecommunications. Over the course of her career, she has honed her expertise in stakeholder management, financial management and leadership. She is also noted for her ability to translate strategy into deliverables, deliver outcomes, and implement strategic programs and models. Ms. Gimenez brings her experience and skills to her role as commercial director for Optus, a provider of telecommunication services across Australia. She is trusted to oversee commercial duties and manage a budget of more than $120 million. Her further responsibilities include negotiating with the rest of the organization to ensure that there are enough funds to complete projects. She is currently working on a major transformation project at Optus.

Ms. Gimenez has always been very interested in human decision making and behavior prediction. She likes analytics and wanted to understand what drives things, which led her to this profession. The highlight of her career has been working on special assignments and projects such as at AAPT on a project for a troublesome mobile customer base, which was eventually sold to an up-and-coming provider. That sale was the only thing that provided a profit for AAPT that year, and 95 percent of the profit achieved in that year was made by Ms. Gimenez. She also worked in a transformation program with Virgin, where she re-deployed 200 people so the company didn't lose staff. This resulted in a profit increase of 18 percent for the company.

In 1990, Ms. Gimenez earned a Bachelor of Economics from The Australian National University. She later received a diploma in investment banking through the Securities Institute of Australia and a leadership diploma through the University of Queensland. Ms. Gimenez has currently been accepted to Monash University to complete further studies in psychology. She is also keen to expand her professional network and to share experiences and strategies to make major projects a success.
