From Venezuela to defence procurement excellence in Australia
Reinaldo was born and raised in Venezuela where he studied a bachelor’s degree in business administration, along with postgraduate studies in business management and contract administration.
Initially landing in Adelaide after making the move to Australia around eight years ago, Reinaldo moved to Sydney for work where he forged a career in the defence industry.
One year ago, Reinaldo moved back to Adelaide, where he continues his career in the defence industry as a procurement officer with BAE Systems Australia. With no two days the same, the diverse role sees him provide supply and logistics support to defence projects.
