The port sector, especially the Brazilian sector, is increasingly demanding innovation and willingness to expand its participation and projection on the world stage. Promoting diversity in leadership and attracting new talent to our businesses is a very purposeful and correct path in this direction”, he added.
The executive, now a board member, says she is honoured by the opportunity. “I hope to contribute, together with the other members of the Board of Directors, to decisions that will further raise the level of efficiency, innovation and sustainability of the terminals, and at the same time boost the Brazilian port infrastructure,” she stated.

The executive will be the second woman to represent TiL on BTP’s Board of Directors and reaffirms the company’s and the container terminal’s commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the port sector. Previously, Zsanett Balla has also contributed on the BTP board between 2019 and 2022.
