I was a ballet dancer and nowadays dance is one of my passions, along with music. I used to sing gospel in the Saint Dominic”s Gospel Choir.
I lived in the UK and Mozambique, I chose however to live in Portugal, since I feel very happy and comfortable in this country.
In my free time, I practice sports, read, and travel.
You may ask yourself – how does she do it? With love, focus and with teamwork. Of course, not all projects are active simultaneously. So, I have the time, flexibility, and efficiency to focus my energy when and where is needed.
Success comes from hard work and purpose.
“I have been working with Marta in different projects for the last 3 years. Marta is the kind of professional you want to find in your professional endeavours! She is a super dynamic, dedicated, high achiever and collaborative person. I have met during her experience as mentor in IES- Social Business School, but we rapidly started developing other projects where Marta showed to be a great leader, excellent researcher, experienced on her academic skills. We had the pleasure to publish together the “ Road Map for Implementing Impact Investing: The Case of Multinational Companies” on the Global Handbook of Impact Investing: Solving Global Problems Via Smarter Capital Markets Towards A More Sustainable Society, WILEY. We are also both involved on the “Economy of Francesco” global Movement of academics, entrepreneurs and Economists promoted by the Pope Francis.
