About

Working in the institution since 2013, I am currently part of the development team of INESC TEC's Scientific Culture in its connection with students and Higher Education Institutions. During my path at the institution I was Executive Director of two of the three International Programs, launched by the Portuguese government in the ICT area, which integrates Portuguese universities, research institutions and companies, with American universities: UT Austin Portugal Program in cooperation with the University of Texas at Austin (2018) and CMU Portugal Program, in cooperation with Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh (2017-2012). More recently, in collaboration with the Board of Directors, I led the design, development and kick-off of a new Human Resources management model, contemplating a deep transformation both on functional and strategic HR activities, rethinking the way the institution thinks about HR strategy, policies and management practices.

Before joining INESC TEC, I was, for four years (2007-2011) Business Manager at one of the research centers of Cambridge University in the UK, focused on developing new technologies for education and research. Before entering the world of Science, Technology and Innovation, I spent 10 years in industry, working in strategic planning and management control.

I hold a Business Administration degree from Faculdade de Economia do Porto, a post-graduation in Auditing and Management Control (2004), and an executive course for HR Directors (2020), both from Universidade Católica, in Porto and Lisbon, respectively.
