Pedro Fernandes
The motivation within.
Pedro is celebrating half a life spent in the continent after growing up in Madeira. Since then, he has since been a happy adopted “portuense”, having studied Economics in the city. However, this does not mean he has stopped collecting miles. Pedro enjoys travelling and counts New York, with its “grandeur” and opportunities, as one of his favourite places.
Pedro believes that life is made to be enjoyed. A positive attitude he takes to work, where he believes there is nothing impossible. When hardship strikes, often a creative solution is needed a principle that has led Pedro through different paths in his life.
Having a strong commercial background and natural inclination for sales, Pedro believes one must find inspiration inside oneself. Goals and achievements certainly have their place, but to succeed, motivation must be intrinsic.
Pedro is taking this mindset to future projects where he hopes he can dedicate himself to negotiation and strategic thinking, two of his strong skills.
