Rui Oliveira The Executive MBA

LEADING TEAMS WITH AUTONOMY AND A POSITIVE MINDSET

Rui is a bridge-maker with a profound experience in industrial and sales environments in various companies and cultures.

With a degree in industrial chemistry and a master's degree in engineering and industrial management, Rui's professional experiences range between the shop floor (industrial and operations) and sales (business).

His deep knowledge of different industries such as resins (inks), pulp and paper, biotechnology, polyurethane foams and cultures (multinational and family companies) made him a natural problem-solver, cooperating and combining several different approaches for solutions.

People often inspire Rui to be more effective and a promoter of prosperous work environments that encourages focus, efficiency, confidence and happiness. He's also a creative and versatile professional who facilitates people's development, inspiring change and challenging organizations.

Rui has dedicated much of his life to non-profit organizations since 2003. He has held a group that promotes music, theatre and dance to children and community members.

He loves to cook, travel, read historical novels and play classical guitar. Family and friends are Rui's more critical assets and pillars.
