Program Project Manager at Eurofins deploying an application across European laboratories to streamline clinical lab operations.

Portugal
Message

At Eurofins, I manage the implementation of an application used by laboratories across Europe. I coordinate stakeholders and oversee deployment, while building and executing a roadmap for global applications.

At Askblue, I managed client projects in banking and airport management, then contributed to business unit management, including budgeting and staffing. Earlier, at everis Centers Lisboa, I was responsible for the Insurance Service Hub and Mainframe Banking projects with a team of more than 20 people.

I began in financial services technology at Accenture and Deloitte, contributing to implementation and testing work with COBOL, JCL, and DB2. I also contributed to an insurance claims module using Oracle Forms and PL/SQL, and studied Data Science at Lisbon Data Science Academy and Atlântica / Rumos.
