On March 25th, changes were made to the shareholder structure of the company Garcias. João Garcia, until then vice-president of the board of directors, expressed his intention to sell his 50% stake in the company, leaving Filipa Garcia, the current CEO and president of the board of directors, with 100% of the share capital of Garcias SA.
“It is an honor for me to assume this responsibility at the largest and best beverage distribution company in Portugal. I have a huge commitment to our purpose, which is our great competitive advantage and what will guide us, as a company, to remain relevant in this constantly changing market ,” says Filipa Garcia, CEO of Garcias.
Following this change, Sérgio Azevedo, previously a member of the board of directors, assumes the position of vice-president of the board of directors, while retaining his role as commercial director.
40 years on the market
As it celebrates its 40th anniversary, Garcias seeks to renew itself while investing in diverse areas, from logistics to sales teams, including marketing and communication. “We are living through a time of profound transformations, challenges, and opportunities. We need a present shareholder structure and leadership to continue a sustainable business for the future. I will closely monitor, as I always have, the entire strategy, the organizational culture, and the people, who are, for me, a fundamental pillar for our growth. I will be a mirror of our purpose and the values of this company ,” he adds.
