In this special edition in which we celebrate 90 years of Nors’ history, I share a part of my story in this that is my second home! For those who don’t know me, I’m Sofia Maia, I work in shared services in the area of projects and continuous improvement, which is the most recent challenge I accepted within the Group, where I’ve been for 4 years. However, my story in this company begins in 2009, in the shared services centre in Porto, in the Accounting area, being only my second professional experience and where I faced some challenges, but also met some spectacular people who helped me grow as a professional. In 2012, I embraced the expansion project of our shared services and left for Brazil in a 3-year adventure, where I had the opportunity to get to know a new culture, and where I learned to overcome many challenges that a new geography and implementation from scratch always bring. Something that helped me a lot to overcome these challenges was the way I was received by the local teams, where I made friendships that still last today. After a break of 2 years, and as they say a good son to the house returns, at the end of 2016, I was invited back, this time to the Tax team in the Angolan market, but based in Porto. Also in the family field, Grupo Nors has a very important weight in my history, since it was here that I met my husband and after all these years here I am, after two children, always in search of new internal challenges that add value to the company and can somehow continue this legacy!
