Moreira brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in product management, marketing, merchandising, purchasing, and supply chain and commercial operations at Fortune 500 companies to his new role at RS. This experience is further strengthened by his MBA from the University of Chicago and BA in business administration and international trade from Universidade Paulista (UNIP) in Brazil.
During his tenures at Lowe’s, Lennox International, Whirlpool, Walmart, and Anheuser-Busch InBev, Moreira was responsible for profit and loss management, multibillion-dollar product portfolios, and high-performing teams throughout North and South America. In his new role as RS Pro Americas’ director, Moreira plans grow the brand’s business by refining its portfolio, improving customer awareness and perception, and collaborating with RS sales, operations, and marketing teams.
“I’m very excited to be part of RS Americas and contribute to the growth of RS Pro,” says Moreira. “There’s a strong foundation here and a clear commitment to delivering value to customers. I look forward to building on that momentum in collaboration with our talented and passionate team."
