JOANA NOBRE ROCHA, SODEXO BUSINESS SERVICES, PURCHASE TO PAY SPECIALIST

Year when you began working at INESC TEC and when you left: 2016-2017

Service at INESC TEC where you worked: Accounting and Finance (CF)

Explain your experience since leaving INESC TEC

Since my duties have ceased in INESC TEC’s department of Accounting and Finance, I had the opportunity of working at Farfetch for almost two years, where I performed tasks very similar to those I did at INESC TEC.

At the moment, I’m working at Sodexo Business Services, a new shared services centre with a leading position in the market, aiming at promoting quality of life services. Six months ago, I accepted a new project and challenge, where I was invited to be (a little bit) out of my comfort zone.

In your opinion, how did your time at INESC TEC help you in your new role?

The team of Dr. Paula Faria allowed me to grow as a person and as a professional, and she definitely was my connection bridge to enter Farfetch, given the background gained in the tasks of Travel Expenses.

In your opinion, how has INESC TEC changed since you left?

I don’t have an opinion on this topic, because I admit that I haven’t had much time to follow INESC TEC’s path. I know that Sol (Portuguese name for sun), the world’s most adorable dog, is still shining but now in the department of Management Control.
