SiosLIFE – Daniel Pereira – a young manager that just was out of University – As is tutor and mentor I helped him to helped my role as a marketing director. Together we built a in-depth marketing plan, and a big portion of the knowledge we created I due to his ideas and questions.

Fortunately, the coach saw in me leadership capabilities and nominated me Captain of the team. I loved to inspire my teammates.

I still remember a game we were losing against FC Porto.
