Explanation:
Based on the source I think it refers to a person. This is the usual name for this type of position in a company, although they could theoretically also be employed by a logistics consulting firm.

Based on the source I would stick with distribution, as this is a marketing term and seems to fit in the context. No mention is made of "logística".

Explanation:
I'm assuming that "Perico" is the name of a company and not a person.

Suerte.

If a person (which I now think is the case, after looking on the Web), then "a logistics expert" or "a logistics consultant".

Explanation:
I don't think distribución means distribution or logistics here - it refers to the retail sector. Perico de los Palotes (is that a joke?) is employed (perhaps by a bank or stockbroker?) to monitor developments in the sector.

My suggestion is also supported by the fact that he/she is interested in "ventas a superficie" - sales per square metre.

The reference to "ventas a superficie" supports this.
