I'm Filipa Pereira — a customer-centric project manager with a creative soul and a strategic mindset. With over 17 years of experience across industries like technology, entertainment, marketing and leisure, I’ve led more than 800 projects — from digital transformation initiatives and campaign launches to immersive events, exhibitions, and brand activations.

My journey began in design, and was later strengthened by a Master's in Project Management. This dual foundation allows me to bridge creative vision with operational clarity. 

Today, I work at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and collaboration — helping businesses turn complex challenges into meaningful, human-centred solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with D2C and B2B2C brands, creative studios, cultural institutions, and tech companies — always with the same goal: to deliver impactful work that aligns business objectives with real user needs.

I specialize in leading cross-functional teams and translating ambitious ideas into structured, results-driven roadmaps. Whether I’m launching a new business unit, managing digital integration for hotels, or developing immersive experiences with global brands like Nickelodeon, I bring energy, clarity, and adaptability to every phase of the project.

I believe great project management is built on trust, empathy, and strategic foresight. I’m passionate about communication, and I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration and agility lead the way.
