A Few Words
About Me

Born and raised in the city of Porto, I have a life full of international experiences, but with deep roots in my city and in the North of Portugal.

I am married and have 2 children. And like anyone else, a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my life experiences. Many of those who really know me say that I am defined by my working capacity, curiosity and thirst for learning.

I buy more books than I can read. And I enroll in the maximum number of courses, reliable and recognized, and complete them with difficulty. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, then you stop being able to develop big and useful things.

Thus, family, work, curiosity and hunger for knowledge define me. I love Golf, Football, Padel Tennis and “Running”, I don't live without a good conversation with my friends or family and I am direct, clear and pragmatic.

After all, life neither has nor offers us extra time.
