Hardworking, available and loyal: what makes the Portuguese the best in the world

With over 26 years of experience in the financial sector, Luís Teles has lived and worked in cities such as Lisbon, Seoul, London and Luanda, where he currently lives and leads Standard Bank Angola, after having graduated in business administration and management from the Catholic University, obtained an MBA from Nova de Lisboa and completed several executive programs at INSEAD.

António Brochado Correia: "It's easy to train good technicians. Training good human beings is extremely difficult." Watch the first episode of this season here.

"Sometimes it seems like everything is going wrong. One of my worst moments was when I became CEO of Standard Bank Angola and had to deal with a series of toxic people who even questioned my integrity," she says in another episode of Luso Lab, explaining how she overcame that moment with calm, confidence, and resilience.

Without a filter, Luís Teles talks about the motivation and pleasure he finds in helping others grow, in interacting with different people and cultures, but also in his family, which "always pushes him forward and towards better." But he also reminds us that ambition must be fueled by hard work and the active pursuit of new goals.

Aware that the future depends on being aware of what was done in the past and what has been achieved since, in this Luso Lab podcast , of which SAPO is a partner, Luís Teles also talks about the difficulties of adapting across borders, the joys and difficulties faced by those who emigrate, and offers a recommendation to younger professionals: "In a global world, it is essential to have a world to be successful. Just as my parents convinced me to have this international experience from an early age, I recommend everyone do so as soon as possible," whether on vacation, learning different languages and cultures, or even embracing projects abroad.

In an interview conducted by Diogo Aires Coelho, Project Leader at the Boston Consulting Group in Dubai and young advisor to the Portuguese Diaspora Council, the CEO of Standard Bank Angola gives his perspective on the world in this new episode of the Luso Lab podcast , which you can follow here on SAPO .
