AXSChat with Lia Raquel Neves Founder : 22nd of April 2025
Lia works at the intersection of technology, business, and social sciences. Her background in Philosophy (BSc at FLUC-UC, Portugal) and Public Health (MSc at FMUL-UC, Portugal) allied with a deep concern for societal challenges, incited her to articulate research with positions in the industry, where she has been a strategy consultant, a project manager, an operations manager, and technical director of a non-profit organization.
More recently Lia trained in cybersecurity as well as participated the Leadership Development Program from Center Creative Leadership (CCL) ® – USA as Co-Leader of the Portuguese network from Lean IN.
Lia is an associate member of the Center for Biomedical Law at Coimbra University Law School (UC, Portugal).
Aware that we are the sum of our personal, social, cultural, artistic, and academic experiences, as well as our projects and our progressive professional evolution, she draws on all those dimensions to develop viable and fine-tuned solutions to complex dilemmas keeping a keen eye for values-based innovation strategies.
