MEET MARIA

Hi, I’m Maria,

In 2006, I took a leap of faith and became an entrepreneur, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After years of working for multinational giants such as Philips and Nike, and inspired by the motto “Just Do It”, I just did it!

From a shy child in a small town to a serial entrepreneur with businesses in New York, London, and Lisbon, my journey has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. I've experienced both failures and triumphs, setbacks and comebacks – each one teaching me invaluable lessons along the way.

Today, I wear many hats: I´m an entrepreneur, CEO, podcast host, writer, coach, and above all, an optimist.

I’m a lifelong student, endlessly curious and always eager to learn more. I speak five languages and hold degrees in Law and Management. Additionally, I've studied extensively topics such as marketing, management, leadership, finance, and investments. But some of the most meaningful lessons I’ve learned came from peers, mentors, coaches, and fellow entrepreneurs I’ve met along the way.

I have a deep love for learning and an equally strong passion for sharing what I’ve learned, both from my own experience and from others.

Today, I create spaces — through conversations, content, courses, and communities — to help people grow with clarity, confidence, and intention. I hope you’ll find ideas that resonate, perspectives that support you, and inspiration for your own journey.

Read. Listen. Learn. Connect. Succeed.
