Having always been a citizen of the world,

Antonia joins JADE Executive Board because of

her keen interest in politics and high level

strategic management. She finds JADE to be

the perfect international environment, an

endless mix of opportunities, where nothing is

forbidden: the Network will only go where the

Junior Entrepreneurs want it to go.

Antonia sees JADE as a parachute jumper: the

parachute being the people that support you in

your drive towards the Unknown, making your

flight way more enjoyable.

In 2010, Antonia is looking after one of the

main JADE Projects: Enlargement. Shared with

Brasil Junior, the project includes the

fundamental redefinition of the Junior

Enterprise Concept. Lately, Antonia became

the JADE ExBo in charge of the JE.Net platform:

the first step towards the World Confederation

of Junior Enterprises.

Working and living in Brussels

Brussels is an old European city

with lovely parks and secret little streets.

You can find a wide variety of cultural

activities and many international people.

The HQ in Brussels, the capital

of Europe, helps JADE to be closer to the

European Institutions and some other

international Headquarters of companies

that support our Network.

The geographic location makes

travelling really easy around Europe.
