Ana Cunha | The International MBA
A PHARMACEUTICAL MANAGER WHOSE MOTTO IS "I WANT TO BE HARD TO BEAT."
Ana Cunha has refused to lose since she was three years old. It was during her first strokes as a swimming student that she realised her taste for competition was bubbling over and she felt like a fish in water. Perhaps it was this experience that made Ana Cunha a natural born leader.
The results were visible right from her first professional experience, as team manager. For 7 years she led and motivated 12 people in an international catering company. During University, Ana stood out as responsible for the Scientific Section of the Pharmaceutical Students Association, ensuring the supervision and organisation of all kinds of scientific congresses, sponsorships and partnerships with different players in the Pharmaceutical sector.
In the last 7 years she has been the Pharmaceutical Director of a team of 5 individuals and it was in this experience that she confirmed that leadership through empowerment and trust is the shortest path to success. Proof of this was the 80% sales growth that her team managed to achieve.
