about

Through my research, writing, mentoring and workshops, I guide leaders and managers to discover the evolutionary origins of our behaviour and its consequences for leadership. As an Intercultural Management expert, I have over 25 years of experience in consulting and training for a wide range of private and public organisations in different countries and regions worldwide.

Throughout my career, I have worked and researched extensively on Intercultural Leadership and Communication as well as Trust and Culture Differences. I have developed a model on how to create trust in leadership, teams and in organisations which lead to the creation of unique tools to measure Trust.

I am the author of over 10 published books on the subject of:

  • Intercultural Management
  • Evolution & Behaviour
  • Trust

I hold a PhD. in Political Science from the ULHT (2013), Lisbon and an MSc in Sociology from the ISCTE-IUL (1989) Lisbon. I am an Invited Associate Prof. at ISG - Business & Economics School. My research focuses primarily on Evolutionary Psychology, Trust Factor, Bio-Leadership, Organisational Behaviour, Strategic HRM and Cultural Intelligence. I regularly publish articles and scientific papers in international journals and publications.
