  • After my term as Social Projects Director, the members of the AIESEC local chapter in Nova University elected me to lead the Executive Board for the 2014.2015 term. By leading 7 Directors for different areas, and overseeing +50 students who were part of our team, I was able to steer them through a 20% growth in operational results (international exchange experiences provided) and a 40% growth in Net Worth.

  • My role as Social Projects Director involved planning and managing our local chapter's AIESEC volunteering projects with international students, which were developed in schools, NGOs and Summer Camps. Together with the coordinator for each particular project, we managed to significantly improve the quality of the experiences provided, after a year of remarkable but unsustained growth. This allowed us to achieve a Net Promoter Score of 69, and a 0% dropout rate after trainee selection, which would ensure we were able to fulfill our promises and our customers' expectations.
