Francisco Ladeira Santos

Vice President & CFO

Francisco spent his childhood and teenage years split between Madeira and Lisbon – a hint of what his professional life would look like in a few years. After finishing high school in Madeira, Francisco moved to Lisbon more definitively to study Management at ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management, whilst at the same time initiating his career leading the Finance, Legal and Administrative Departments of the Group, headquartered in Madeira Island.
