In my tenure as Special Projects Principal at Advanced Cyclone Systems, I've led the end-to-end delivery of expansive industrial projects on a global scale, from the initial sale through to installation. This role demanded not only a deep technical understanding but also a keen ability to manage key accounts and communicate effectively across diverse teams and stakeholders. My approach has always been proactive, focusing on rigorous planning, risk mitigation, and budget management to ensure the seamless execution and quality of every project. My experience in overseeing operations, coupled with my strategic planning and stakeholder management skills and my absolute client obsession makes for stress free on time on budget delivery while providing our wonderful clients (Lonza, Hovione, Mannkind, Arla, Nestlé and others) with the best possible journey along the way.

As an Operations Manager at ACS, I spearheaded the integration of engineering, design, procurement, logistics, and global operations management, ensuring the seamless execution of complex industrial projects worldwide. My role was pivotal in enhancing project efficiency, reducing costs, and improving timelines through innovative solutions and strategic collaborations. This experience has honed my ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage diverse stakeholder expectations, and navigate the complexities of international project management, making me adept at delivering high-quality outcomes in challenging environments.

As a Project Manager at Newton - Engineering Consultants, I spearheaded multiple engineering projects, where I was responsible for overseeing projects from inception to completion. My role involved close collaboration with technical teams to define project goals, develop realistic budgets and timelines, and ensure project execution within these constraints. I excelled in identifying potential risks and devising effective mitigation strategies, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency. I was very fortunate to lead the project revision for the Cruiseship Terminal in Leixoes, which is a real privilige.

In my dual role as Project Manager and Senior Structural Designer, I led multifaceted structural design projects, blending innovative engineering solutions with effective project management. My expertise in structural integrity, coupled with a keen eye for aesthetic and functional design, allowed for the successful execution of projects that met both client specifications and regulatory standards, demonstrating my capacity to manage complex design challenges and lead projects to successful completion.

At Mota-Engil, my role as a Structural Designer and as a Technical Advisor for Business Development involved leading the design of pre-fabricated and pre-stressed highway projects (bridges, overpasses and tunnels). This position demanded a fusion of technical expertise and strategic insight to support business growth, leveraging innovative design solutions to meet complex engineering challenges while also contributing to business development initiatives.

In my early career as a Junior Structural Designer and Construction Manager, I focused on honing my skills in structural design and construction management. This phase was crucial for building a solid foundation in engineering principles, project management, and on-site coordination, setting the stage for continuous learning and professional growth in more complex and demanding projects.The highlight of this journey was taking part in the project and construction of the Dragon Stadium here in Porto.
