I am a focused professional in strategy, consultancy and development, acting in textile industry. I have 5 years of experience in a unconventional career that goes from consultancy to project management and technical development. I have worked in several areas of expertise where my academic degree (Master in Materials Engineering) have shown to be of value. From space technologies (confidential), to smart prosthetics (edited book), personal safety garments (several research articles in both conferences and journals), arquitectural developments (with several references in relevant midia, research articles in journals and conferences) (smart&green cities) I have developed several technologies with pride and joy. Why i am not focusing on only one target? Simply because I do not believe that an innovation & strategic planner could do a valued job without having a close relation to emerging technology, research methologies, new research breakthroughs or even networking with such interesting professionals. Despite my focus on industry, I still execute projects what lead me to constantly get in touch with the best laboratories, research teams and academic institutes. nowadays I still contact and colaborate with "out of the box" professionals across the world being able to alocate different research needs to spiecific teams of developers, companies and researchers, increasing the rate of projects success.

Head of R&D DepartmentA. Ferreira e Filhos SA
Vizela, PortugalFull Time
Management of strategic relations between entities of the scientific and technological system, SME's and R & D PMP's is a topic of interest for the entire process of knowledge transfer worldwide. The success of joint projects is decisive for the future of these collaborative networks, so the perfect symbiosis should be based on an accurate "translation" of language, methodologies and standardization of objectives so that efforts converge to the same result. Innovating in SME's is an indicator of excellence in any market sector. Creating value and sharing knowledge is what drives me.
