Dear Members and Partners,
It is with great enthusiasm and a renewed sense of mission that I address you all to share the news marking the beginning of a new and ambitious chapter in the history of our Club.
Cycles of Gratitude
I would like to begin by expressing my deep appreciation to Celso Almeida, who until recently served as Vice-President, and to Sandrina Oliveira, who coordinated our Public Relations and administrative functions. Their commitment and dedication have been fundamental in bringing us to where we are today. We wish them every success in their future personal and professional endeavours, knowing that the doors of this Club will always remain open to them.
A New Identity
As part of our evolution, I am proud to announce that the Club will now be known as the Escala Business Club Luxembourg-Portugal (EBCLP).
By formally adding the reference countries, we aim to provide clearer communication with institutions. Our website will become EBCLP.com.
This change reflects our ambition to modernise and our desire to strengthen the Club’s positioning as an ecosystem of excellence for business and networking.
Strengthening the Team and New Operational Structure
To support this new phase and elevate the level of service and value delivered to our members, we have structured a new executive team composed of outstanding professionals with extensive experience:
- Vice-Presidency: We welcome Filipe Vilas Boas, who takes on the role with a strategic focus on strengthening and expanding our network.
- Executive Direction: : I am pleased to introduce Feliciana Monteiro, ho assumes operational leadership as well as strategic management of the Club’s Communications and Brand.
- General Secretariat: Etelvina Correia takes on the management of our structure and administrative rigour, also leading Institutional Development.
- CFO (Finance) : We continue to rely on the rigour of Carlos Marques, · who ensures our financial solidity and strategic sustainability.
Commitment
This restructuring has one clear objective: to better serve our members. We are implementing a management model based on Centres of Expertise, which will allow us to be more agile, more professional, and more focused on creating real value for your business.
We remain at your full disposal for any questions and count on you all to help us make the Escala Business Club Luxembourg-Portugal an undisputed reference in the business landscape.
Yours sincerely,
Michel Bastos
Président
