Dan MEYRUEIX

I did an internship at The LAB Fragrance in Singapore, focusing on international business development and market expansion. I conducted market analyses for various regions (including Turkey) and identified potential partners to expand the brand both online and in-store. I maintained direct communication with the Singapore on-site team to monitor logistics and monthly stock alignment with sales. I oversaw import, storage, and point-of-sale setup operations, while performing local and international competitor analyses to support brand positioning. Additionally, I managed a full negotiation process with a payment solutions firm, from initial contact to in-person meeting, to optimize the company’s online payment systems.

For two summer seasons, I worked as Head Waiter at Effet Mer, a private beach and restaurant, leading a team of seven runners to deliver high-quality guest service. I managed my tables, ensured smooth service operations, and handled customer inquiries with professionalism. I also took care of private events, coordinating service to meet specific client expectations. Additionally, I supported the bar team, developing strong multitasking and leadership skills in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

I did an internship in Miami at LEA Trading Group focused on international logistics and business development. I managed the import/export operations of containers from shipment to delivery, coordinating directly with suppliers for product selection and space management. I identified and implemented a new commercial strategy to sell dormant stock due to a broken contract, conducting market and competitor analyses and presenting actionable insights to the CEO, which led to the product’s successful sale. I also contributed to the expansion of the CEO’s sparkling wine brand in Miami by supporting product improvement, cocktail creation, and organizing a partnership with a bar in Brickell.

I was a Head Waiter in a traditional French restaurant, managing my own tables and a team of 2 runners while providing refined table service, including tableside cutting and presentation. Also supported bar operations between shifts, gaining my first experience in bartending and drink preparation.

I worked as a sales person at GoSport (recently bought by Intersport) responsible for customer service, merchandising, and stock management. Redesigned the product layout, leading to a 15% increase in sales for older-generation items, and advised customers in the running and football categories, achieving a 5% sales growth. Collaborated with the store manager to analyze performance results and engaged with an international clientele, strengthening my English communication skills.

Provided wine and champagne service in a high-quality restaurant, assisting with private dinners and exclusive events while ensuring an exceptional level of hospitality and guest satisfaction.
