Mariana Sá Nogueira

Director At Santander Portugal
Lisbon

Summary

Dynamic and motivated professional with 17 years' experience at Santander Portugal, 10 of which in leadership roles and in various different areas, from business and marketing to distribution models and, more recently, in support areas for the commercial network.

I consider myself to be a versatile person, with a great ability to adapt to change, creative and curious. Continuous learning and collaboration are essential values for me, which I try to apply in my day-to-day life and as a leader.

I highly value sharing experiences and believe that a leadership course at an international school, with women from different countries and industries, is an excellent opportunity to continue my growth path as a leader in the banking industry.
