Henrique’s vision and experience in these areas will be a very important asset for our Team.”

Costa Pinto added: “This is, in fact, excellent news, which makes us believe even more in our project and in the affirmation of our Team. Having Henrique in our team is without a doubt one of the best news that 2021 could bring us”.
