I love to take the ''IM'' from the IM-POSSIBLE. Helping people to discover new ''Impossible'' Ideas and turn them into reality is what I have done as Management Consultant, as Executive Director at a Corporation or as Entrepreneur and CEO. I have started as Management Consultant up to Senior Manager at Accenture and Deloitte Consulting helping major companies and institutions in Europe from the Financial Services, Government and Utilities sectors to design and implement the most complex integrated Strategy, IT and new Processes Programmes. Leading the Innovation as Executive Director of a major Oil&Gas&Utility corporation (Galp Energia) was an honor and a hard task, launching an internal ''Innovation Academy'', leading relevant startups and programmes as CEO or Board Member, and introducing new technologies every quarter. But if I have to choose one I would remember the launch of the new Mobile Drivers Portal with Steve Balmer, former CEO of Microsoft, in Lisbon, something a lot of people thought it was impossible to happen. After completing my MBA at AESE/IESE the most difficult ''IM'' was to become an entrepreneur and start Self Energy, that I was able to grow as CEO from 0 to €23M in 3 years and within 4 countries and projects in 3 continents. It has been a great journey with ups and downs that gave me a honor to be finalist at EY Entrepreneur of the Year and be invited to speak in conferences and lead projects all over the world, as a pioneer and senior expert in Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Smart City Programmes. Other ''IMs'' were removed like launching and leading the Portuguese ESCO Association including all ESCO companies (big and small) or helping a group of Scouts from Portugal (Sintra) to develop and deliver a Volunteering project at a high-school in the north of Mozambique. Looking forward for the next ''IM'' to remove...
