Chief Everything Officer with Joana Trigueiros

In this episode of Make Space for Growth, I speak with Joana Trigueiros, CEO of Maray—a Portuguese shoe brand rooted in heritage, purpose, and bold design. Joana is not only a remarkable entrepreneur but also my business partner and lifelong friend, which made this conversation even more meaningful.

We cover:

✅ How Joana balanced a full-time executive role at Danone while launching Maray

✅ What it really means to be a "Chief Everything Officer"

✅ Her people-first approach to business and leadership

✅ The brand’s origin in her family’s shoe shop

✅ Her word of the year: Brave

Whether you’re launching a business or redefining what success looks like, this is a must-listen.
