Shaping the future of COCUS Portugal together
For António de Carvalho, Managing Director and Associate Member of the Board of COCUS Portugal, the vision was clear from the very beginning: COCUS Portugal should not only become a successful technology company but also establish itself as one of the most attractive employers in the Portuguese IT industry.
Alexandra Monteiro hat wesentlich dazu beigetragen, diesen Anspruch in die Realität umzusetzen. Seit den Anfangsjahren arbeiten beide eng zusammen. In dieser Zeit hat António de Carvalho erlebt, mit welchem Engagement und welcher Leidenschaft sie die Entwicklung der Mitarbeitenden, die Unternehmenskultur und das Wachstum von COCUS Portugal vorangetrieben hat.
Her appointment as Co-Managing Director is therefore a natural and well-deserved recognition of her achievements and leadership over the years. Looking back with pride on what they have accomplished together, António de Carvalho looks forward to continuing COCUS Portugal’s success story alongside Alexandra Monteiro.
