I’m thrilled to take on the leadership role in the new Lisbon office and look forward to supporting our clients’ Executive Search needs in Portugal, Africa and other regions,“ stated Ms. Hernández.
“Over recent years, we have registered a significant demand for senior search mandates from our international clients growing their operations in Africa. Given our experience and our extensive footprint across both emerging and established markets, having a dedicated counterpart in Portugal will make a significant difference for our clients,” said Martin Pike, Managing Director of Sub-Saharan Africa region at Pedersen & Partners.
Alvaro Arias, Partner in charge of Iberia and Latin America at Pedersen & Partners, added: “With the financial crisis subsiding, the flow of business opportunities in the Iberian peninsula is robust, while Africa, with its constant and dynamic growth, holds immense potential. We are delighted to have Margarita at the helm of our Portuguese operations, and connecting our regional and global clients to Angola and thus deeper into Africa. We are confident that this new appointment further consolidates our strategic positioning, advancing our firm’s footprint and prominence.”
