Bio
Mariana Duarte Silva
I've had the opportunity to work with Bernardo as an element of same team in Graduate Program promoted by Junior Achievement Portugal in 2010 and after the program we both continued to work at Junior Achievement Alumni Portugal. After having had the opportunity to work with Bernardo I have absolutely no hesitation in recommend him not only for his technical knowledge but also for its social and human competences. There’s been 4 years now since I first met Bernardo and I would highlight as his strengths the amazing eagerness to learn he demonstrates, capacity to work under tremendous pressure, his irreverence until achieve the goals, and his incredible willingness to help anyone who crosses his way. Bernardo is very demanding with himself so he expects nothing less than the best from the people around him. He is strongly committed to his believes as well as very enthusiast in sharing them to other people and very friendly in involving and welcome new people to the projects.
