Catarina Silva
Catarina Silva is the finance director of Correia Rosa pharmacies.
She loves all things to do with charts and analyses – she’s our numbers expert!
“As an only child and grandchild, I had a childhood filled with trips ‘to the vineyard’, the beach and lots of family time.
Lisbon was where I headed for five years of studying Economics and having fun, so off I went…
After finishing my degree, I went to Madeira and faced the unknown! And I grew as a person! Working amongst the locals – in a family business and a multinational – I overcame the challenges by always striving to be better.
There, I met J. He, E and JA are the ones who fulfil my body and soul – they really are the BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF ALL.
‘The Correia Rosa pharmacies in Caldas da Rainha – that’s where I learn every day that ‘FROM PEOPLE TO PEOPLE’ is the way forward, even though numbers are my ‘thing’.’
