AN ADDED VALUE MANAGER FOCUSED ON GROWTH

Born and raised in Porto, Marta is inquisitive, open-minded, and eager for knowledge and contact with people. With a background in psychology and management, Marta has a broad knowledge in human relations, management, sales, internationalization, textile, and footwear.

After her graduation, she worked as a clinical psychologist and a teacher for three years. During this time, her appreciation for teaching grew, and the opportunity to keep doing it led her to venture into the management world. She switched the clinic for a Fashion School, where she worked as a teacher, and one year later, Marta received an opportunity to assist on the European Funds management. This experience pushed her to take executive training in finance and management, enabling her to stay in charge of the area for nine years while teaching simultaneously.

After ten years, Marta felt determined to work in a corporate environment, so she finished her studies in management and took her first commercial role in the footwear industry as a KAM. In just two years, Marta received an invitation to join Sonae Fashion as a sales manager, where she was in charge of three of the five key international markets.

In search for higher responsibilities, she decided to change to a specialized aviation industry uniform business where she had the opportunity to be head of sales, responsible for the development and implementation of the commercial strategy, manage a team of three, make sales reports to the CEO and pursue annual sales budget.

During the pandemic Marta joined a new project in the textile sector, where she is responsible for the commercial business development in a garment factory, specialized on circular knits for high end luxury brands, and where she is having the opportunity to be part of a pioneer circularity project.
