Personal
Passionate for nature, Filipe is always ready for a venture into the wild. When abroad, he is always on the green side looking for a sightseeing adventure not listed on tourist guides. He likes to use his coordinating skills to organize gatherings that enhance networking and make team building more sustainable. Being very communicative and open-minded, he is always up for a conversation ranging in topics from metaphysics to a greener economy. “Jazzy” to talk to, but classical when it comes to focus on work, Filipe drums for fun, and loves a good bit of electronic: food for thought, music for soul.
