Bio
Sofia Sousa Pereira
There are a few people whom I like to call "the Believers". These special people are known for always expecting the best in others, for jumping in to help on every occasion, and for constantly being prepared to take a risk with you. Believers see in others something they cannot see themselves. Call it a sixth sense, intuition, or pure luck. Jorge is a Believer. Jorge trusts in his team and helps them grow into fierce, confident, and fulfilled people. For me it was simple. I was given the opportunity to become a part of a fast-paced world where everything changes. Where work colleagues are friends. Where there's always room for growth. Jorge is a creative, kind, and resourceful person, a true leader, and someone the team can always look up to. Thank you for showing everyone that even the sky is not the limit. I wish you joy and success in the future!
