ReInovar - Recovery and Resilience Plan (Recover Portugal) for Modernising the Commercial Registry and Collective Entities
Product Owner & Program Manager | EY
I am the product owner and programme manager on the modernisation of the Commercial Registry, under Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan. The programme replaces the central platform that supports millions of corporate acts and has been in operation for more than two decades. Day to day, I bridge technical, legal and business teams, run several projects in parallel and oversee the migration from legacy systems to the new architecture.
