Wendeline van der Feltz, currently the Innovation and Development lead at the Princess Margriet Fund of the Netherlands Red Cross and an alumna of The Lisbon MBA Católica | Nova, was interviewed for Executiva. In this interview, Wendeline shares the lessons of expatriation, the motivations that led her to do the MBA, and the decisive impact that this training had on her career.

Born in the Netherlands, Wendeline started her professional career at ABN AMRO Bank, a job she left to go to Brazil, with only her address book and her luggage. "It was probably one of my biggest leaps of faith," she said. Back in Europe, Wendeline chose Portugal because of the Lisbon MBA Católica|Nova.

Wendeline concludes that “besides professional opportunities, dear friendships have come out this all too special year!" and that the joint program of Católica and Nova gave her more confidence to take on new risks.
