https://gofund.me/5328a813 I’m a daughter of an entrepreneur when this term didn’t even existed. Innovation and entrepreneurship are in my blood. My background on Industrial Engineering gives me the passion for process optimization and continuous improvement, alongside with my inner hunger for innovation. I developed my Master’s thesis and published a scientific paper based on the case study of Pingo Doce’s industrial kitchen processes’ optimization with Lean Six Sigma, while considering ergonomics, work safety and food quality control. I was then invited to be a speaker on a Workshop for ACT (Government Institution to promote good work conditions) to present the results of my work and the solutions implemented. My experience at JMD (the larger FMCG distributer of international brands in Portugal) validated my personal interest on the strategic development, marketing and management of brands and products. At Pingo Doce I got my analytical skills, portfolio management and development skills, operational capabilities, hands-on work experience, hunger for finding solutions, developing strategies and seeing them through, priorities management, assertiveness, and the capability of dealing with everyday problems under pressure on a fast-paced environment, working with several departments and teams simultaneously, with enough flexibility and ability to influence so to always find the best possible solution. As a Category Manager, I’ve had the opportunity of working in very different business areas. On all of these, I always have to deal on a daily basis and be solely responsible for suppliers, multiple teams (especially marketing teams), budgeting, planning, managing resources, presenting new solutions and innovative answers to our business problems, market research and analysis, focus on operational excellence, etc. Throughout this journey I’ve been leading multiple projects, such as building a database and optimizing processes at Caterplus; launching a new brand in Portugal (Barilla), creating the marketing campaign
