I'm a co-owner and Commercial Director and Human Resources Manager at VIRTEL, where I coordinate projects, budgets, payment processing, and teams of more than 10 employees. I also supervise telecommunications, energy, fiber-optic, civil-construction, and service-delivery projects in Angola.
I founded and manage AVP Kicks, handling store organization, order fulfillment, customer communication, social media, digital content, and marketing strategies. My five years of customer service experience has strengthened my communication, sales, negotiation, and leadership skills.
