#HumansofCatolica: Marco Correia

“Human of the world” is how I like to consider myself!

Born in Maputo, Mozambique throughout my childhood I was exposed to a plenitude of cultures, ideas and sounds. Johannesburg, South Africa was my first home away from home, having spent my final high school years and later moving to Cape Town where I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. I couldn´t get enough of the world and did not stop there. Lisbon was my next home and Católica a new gateway for new challenges, relationships, ideas, concepts a fresh perspective.

Católica was the best and final challenge I could´ve had prior to entering the employment world. In fact, it is the best challenge to any student with professional career ambitions. A true melting pot of cultures and ideas of which personally allowed me to further progress into developing myself as a professional. Today, I am the CEO of an engineering and heavy steelworks company in Mozambique and I could not have had chosen a better city or better university to prepare my final academic goals than the city of light and Universidade Católica Portuguesa.”
