Turning your objectives into actionable plans

I'm Stephany Goncalves, born and raised in Rotterdam, with Cape Verdean roots. Over the past few years, I've been working in Zürich, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Antwerp, and Amsterdam. These experiences have sharpened my ability to connect with diverse audiences and collaborate effectively in cross-cultural teams.

I turn your objectives into actionable plans by breaking them down into manageable steps and by helping you achieve your goals effectively.

"Since my youth, my parents instilled in me the importance of remaining authentic and embodying the principles of FÉ.

Throughout my career, each opportunity presented its unique set of challenges. One aspect I have frequently missed along the way is the guidance of an involved mentor who shared a commonality with me, contributing to a more varied and representative support network."

FÉ stands for faith and trust in Cape Verdean Creole.

I've been working within different areas of global brand and marketing for over a decade now. My focus lies in crafting strategies that put customers at the heart, transforming them into actionable plans tailored to local contexts. Now I am incorporating this expertise to create benefit for mentees by co-creating their personal paths.

From social and digital media to influencer marketing, customer loyalty, media innovation, brand experiences, and PR, I've worn many hats in this field. My expertise isn't limited to big-name fashion and lifestyle brands. I'm equally committed to supporting local and global initiatives with social impact. The diverse portfolio allows me to fulfill the commitment to support future female leaders irrespective of their background.

I want to share my skills with mentees who recognize the need for personal development and are ready to show dedication in this collaborative process.

I'm recognized for my drive, forward-thinking mindset, and meticulous attention to detail. I bring a unique blend of skills to the table, excelling in cross-functional collaborations and seamlessly blending creativity with a strong business mindset.

Leveraging my international and strategic experience, along with my customer-centric approach and commitment to leadership development, I found my new direction in mentoring. The intrinsic need to share insights and knowledge is now fulfilled through public speaking engagements and collaborations with several educational institutions, hosting engaging lectures and workshops. My goal is to spread the message of 'you can do it too' by being seen and heard in these spaces, as well as by being an accountability partner for the Voices of FÉ.
