Harold Michelsen, Marketing Manager
Ripley Corp, The Chilean Department Store Chain

Harold Michelsen started his career at Nestlé Chile as a consumer marketing manager in the confectionery business. He then moved within the company to become a media manager, found that he loved it, and then accepted a Media Manager position with Procter & Gamble Chile. He then admits to following a colleague to Ripley, one of Chile’s top retailers, now expanding throughout the region. Harold initially found the project interesting as it broadened his business expertise to research, public relations and legal issues. Now, four years later, he’s become Ripley’s Marketing Manager—overseeing 20 people and responsible for all communications for this billion-dollar business that comprises both retail and financial concerns.
