Ana Neves’s Summary

I have been working on knowledge and cultural change management for some years. My passion for these topics is reflected in my results. I produce and maintain a monthly, online KM publication where I host current topics and interview influential people in KM. I am tenacious, pro-active, and responsible. I am able to adapt to different work settings and my considerable experience has been gained in both the public and private sectors.

I am now looking for opportunities to share my experience and skills with organisations looking at knowledge management to increase their profits.
