Teresa Soares

I was recently responsible for developing the ELOU brand product portfolio in order to boost the company's business growth and reach international markets. The first collection was developed with ESAD-IDEA and support of the marketing and commercial team in identifying target products, channels and markets. I coordinate communication, prototyping and supplier design teams.

I was also envolved with certification issues and testing entities. I was responsible for monitoring the start up of production, ensuring compliance with the technical and quality standards of the brand.

My main tasks were:

- the creative process in the concept development

- the management of the product development cycle

- the research of suppliers of materials and components, purchases of materials and components for prototypes

- the preparation of datasheets and the research of trends, both Design and materials.
