Gerard Torres

Manager – Regional Sales

When we at BMETT launched our search for the best candidate to uplift our BMETT Regional Sales managerial capacity and capability, we didn’t have to go further than our own homegrown expert: Gerard Torres.

In English and Spanish, the Trini-born señor Torres has made quite a name for himself––especially in the complex export business, locally and across the Region.

At BMETT, he is our “Expert on Export”.

Before becoming BMETT’s official go-to Regional Sales Manager, Gerard spent at least the last 15 years crisscrossing the Caribbean––travelling extensively throughout the Region, establishing markets, signing up relationships, bonding with key players in commercial and Government sectors, ensuring efficiency in the supply chains between T&T and the Caribbean, designing export strategies and structures, and generally giving the hum and buzz to his business transactions to the benefit of and profit to all parties involved.         

Gerard began his working life in the 1980s as an Accounts Assistant at the T&T national airline then widely known as BWIA (BEEWEE).

From that smooth lift-off, he has been on an upward trajectory, climbing through varying heights pausing only to gather eclectic and enriching experiences at stops that included: First Citizens Bank, Century Eslon, Rubber and Chemicals Co.Ltd, Langston Roach Industries, Readymix, National Flour  Mills Limited, and GTO Services.

With his hands-on work initiatives, he has blended a nonstop intake of academic training by: attending skills-upgrading Senior Courses in areas ranging from Export Costing and Pricing to Human Resource Management; securing Certificates in specialisms from Spanish Proficiency to International Trade; acquiring his Diploma from the UK Institute of Export; earning his MBA from Heriot-Watt University; and entering into pursuit of his Executive MBA at the Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business.

But it has been with his in-person performance that Gerard has proven himself to be even more outstanding.

His kind of a well-rounded resource entered the world of BMETT, bringing an energy that has both anchored our Company as a major Regional entity, as well as given us wings to be the global performer that we are.

Gerard Torres is today a lead BMETT Manager for our expansion and innovation, as BMETT keeps travelling throughout our market and rising to even greater heights.
