WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE SHARED GOALS

Ricardo's professional goal is to go as far as possible and test his limits.

He is particularly proud of his professional path at Thales Portugal, SA. For five years, he made his way from being a system engineer subcontractor that prepared technical proposals to an intern with a remote work job contract and finishing as a bid manager responsible for proposals.

He has been strengthening his competencies from a technical profile to a more management role, inspired by his passion for Management and Negotiation.

In 2018, Ricardo embraced a new challenge as Bid Manager at the biggest Portuguese electromechanical company Efacec in the Transportation (Telematic and Signalling) Business Unit, cooperating with Sales, Engineering, Maintenance, and Product departments to deliver the best technical solutions at competitive prices.

Ricardo is fascinated by how teamwork achieves exceptional results in competitive environments and how it brings people together. As a sports fan, he feels there is some magic appealing about competing together that addresses people and makes them respect one other. Sharing efforts, adversities and challenges also quite often result in having some good stories to tell.
