Accomplishments
I was recognized as the Best Employee in ExxonMobil Angola and the one who brought the most Innovation to the company this year!
After 10 years away from the Oil & Gas industry, the sector that shaped me into the professional I am today (have 16 years of experience in the oil industry), I decided to return 1 year and 3 months ago. In this short period, I was challenged to transform the company’s internal and external communications. And I did it! With effort, focus, and support, I exceeded expectations and overcame challenges that made me grow even more.
