José Augusto S. Pinto
International Business Development | Marketing & Communications
My intervention is informed by diversity.
With a work experience that spans 20 years+, I have worked abroad in Kazakhstan, Germany, UK, Czech Republic and Russia, besides my native Portugal, from where I worked with African countries (Angola, Mozambique, South Africa).
I have worked at advertising agencies (Lowe, JWT, Leo Burnett), a creative school (ETIC - Portugal), a technological arts festival (SIGNAL - Prague), a shopping centre developer (SRV - Russia), executive search and organisational design (Amrop/STR Suite - Russia) and even an AI studio (Docet - Cyprus, Israel).
Based in Seoul since 2023, I'm focused on building connections to and from Korea, while still supporting business development projects elsewhere.
Current projects
- Part of the task force setting up the Portugal-Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry;
- Wine export: supporting the importing of Eastern European wine to Western Europe;
- Establishing links between the metallurgic sector in Kazakhstan with a Korean trading company;
- Business development support for a digital advertising startup entering the Portuguese digital media market;
