A month after starting, I discovered I was pregnant with my second daughter, Joana. It was also around that time that I received an invitation to coordinate<\/strong> the Campo Grande team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just a challenge. It was the beginning of a growth process<\/strong> that has accompanied me until today. Over time, I came to manage more geographical areas<\/strong>, which allowed me to interact with different realities within the temporary work business<\/strong>, learning and gaining a much broader vision of the sector.<\/p>\n

In September 2017, I embraced a new challenge<\/strong>: the management of outsourcing projects<\/strong>. It was like entering a new “world,” different from temporary work. With it came new contexts<\/strong>, new demands<\/strong>, and, above all, new learnings<\/strong>. This period allowed me to develop skills that I had never worked on before, such as financial indicator management<\/strong>, operational team planning<\/strong>, and more complex support processes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the natural growth of the projects, there arose the need to reorganize the teams internally, and that’s how I took on the leadership of the People & Financial Support<\/strong> department \u2014 a name that may seem technical, but that, for me, has everything to do with taking care of people and ensuring that the financial core of the projects is stable.<\/p>\n

The impact of major changes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If there was a moment that forced us to change, it was the pandemic<\/strong>. From one day to the next, we were all challenged to rethink routines, priorities, and, above all, the way we work. It was a test of resilience<\/strong>, but also of creativity<\/strong> and collaboration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The company knew how to adapt quickly<\/strong>, investing in digital tools, adjusting processes, and bringing teams even closer. The feeling of unity<\/strong> grew, and this was visible not only in screen meetings but also in the effort we all made to support our clients<\/strong> and keep services<\/strong> running, even in the most critical phases.<\/p>\n

But with the changes in the market, from price and margin changes to the evolution of legal requirements, we also had to review ways of working. Digitalization<\/strong> stopped being an option and became a necessity. Today, we use tools that allow us to analyze data quickly and efficiently, make more informed decisions, and we intend to automate<\/strong> part of what is done manually. This frees up time<\/strong> for the most important: thinking strategically and being present for people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our adaptation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our adaptation was, above all, an exercise in proximity<\/strong> and openness<\/strong>. We quickly realized that to keep up with changes, often rapid and unpredictable, it was essential to maintain constant dialogue<\/strong>, an open mind<\/strong>, and the ability to reinvent ourselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We adjusted processes, redesigned functions, adopted new tools and technologies. But the most important<\/strong> thing was what we built among ourselves: a solid trust<\/strong>, made of transparency<\/strong>, active listening<\/strong>, and mutual support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It has been (and continues to be) a journey of continuous learning, where each challenge also brought an opportunity to improve<\/strong>. And I believe that this evolution is only possible when everyone feels part of the solution. When we give space to listen<\/strong>, welcome<\/strong>, and value<\/strong> everyone’s ideas, commitment<\/strong> grows, and motivation<\/strong> comes naturally.<\/p>\n

What I value<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Over these years, what I have valued the most is the freedom to grow<\/strong>, to experiment<\/strong>, and to make mistakes safely. Working in a company where there is space to evolve<\/strong>, where we are challenged<\/strong>, but also supported<\/strong>, makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

I also value the spirit of mutual support, knowing that we are together, regardless of what arises. It’s not just about meeting objectives; it’s about building something meaningful<\/strong> every day.<\/p>\n

A journey in constant evolution<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking back, I see demanding but also very rewarding moments. I have grown as a professional and as a person.<\/p>\n

And I continue with the same desire to learn, contribute, and transform. The world changes, and we change with it. That’s what makes this journey so rich and special.<\/p>\n

At Knower<\/strong><\/span>, I found a space where it is possible to take risks, innovate, and grow. Here, each challenge comes with confidence and support, and that makes all the difference. That’s why I continue to be motivated to give my best every day and to believe that, together, we can achieve even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
