João Costa The International MBA

EXCELLING IN FINANCE WITH A UNIQUE OUT-OF-THE-BOX MINDSET

João has an inherent ability to create value for the companies and work in fast-paced environments, providing fast results in short periods of time.

Despite his mechanical engineering background, João has a substantial analytical and diverse experience in Finance, facing situations with a different attitude and performing thoroughly according to every project’s requirement.

After his first work experience as a Product Development Engineer for the climatization sector, João realized that he was exceptionally talented at analyzing and decomposing data. Later on, his unique skill set granted him an invitation to work in pharmaceuticals as a Financial and Operational Manager, managing and leading a team of four highly educated people aligned with the company’s goals, improving all financial criteria significantly.

Currently, João decided to upscale his strengths with this MBA and is looking toward a financial or business development opportunity.
