    ROSEBANK, SOUTH AFRICA, February 04, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Gilberto Rodrigues, former Chief Executive Officer of Mota-Engil Africa, has been recognized for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in Operations Management.

Mr. Rodrigues has 21 years of professional experience, with three years as the CEO of Mota-Engil Africa, until March 2016. On a daily basis, he carefully examined how markets within the African continent were performing.

Mr. Rodrigues became board director of the largest Portuguese group at the age of 36, and now at 41, was the CEO of the African market with $1 billion U.S. turnover for 2012.

Looking back, Mr. Rodrigues attributes his success to his hard-working, natural skills, and believing that goals are possible, and in the capacity of people and teamwork. He became involved in his profession because he was very young and wanted to be a civil engineer. After his degree, he was an onsite engineer, site manager and project manager. He was invited to come to Africa in 2001 and has stayed. He became country manager, then regional director and now CEO of the continent.

Mr. Rodrigues received a master's degree in civil engineering in Portugal. In 2012, the Portuguese Honorary Council presented him with the Portuguese Republic COTEC Prize for Entrepreneurship for Portuguese who are Working Overseas and Demonstrate High Standards.
