He also holds an MBA from the Université Catholique de Louvain (1993) and a MPhil from Universidade Católica Portuguesa (2009). Additionally, he owes multiple certifications in digital transformation, obtained at the best international universities (including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, KTH, Oxford, IMD, HEC and Bocconi) and a diploma of professional board member, delivered by Instituto de Consejeros-Administrators.
