Our Founders
Together, Teresa Torrinha Mendes and Zélia Oliveira Marques bridge the gap between finance and communication, ensuring that every strategic decision, from investment to brand narrative, strengthens the long-term value, reputation and sustainability of companies.
Their national and international vision was instrumental in the creation of Corpora Group, a solid and pragmatic structure that offers companies an integrated management model, bringing together financial and corporate communication strategies in a cohesive manner.
They founded the company with a clear purpose: to make Portuguese companies stronger, more competitive and more consistent, both in the domestic and international markets. They believe that sustainable success results from a balance between economic profitability, social responsibility and environmental respect, with stakeholders recognised as an essential part of this ecosystem.
At Corpora Group, this vision translates into a service that aligns numbers, people and purpose, transforming data into decisions and strategies into measurable impact.
Corpora Group, where finance and communication come together to build solid, conscious and sustainable brands, prepared to lead with consistency and global vision.
