Andreia Coutinho
Skizo
Brand & Communications Director
Portugal
Andreia Coutinho lives on the south bank of Tagus River, where she finds in the proximity of the beach a source of inspiration and tranquility, regardless of the season. With a degree in Communication and Cultural Sciences, specializing in Journalism, Andreia followed an entrepreneurial path more than a decade ago, initially in management, but it was in technological innovation that she found her new direction as co-founder of the startup Skizo.
Skizo's mission is to transform waste into resources, embracing challenges such as the transformation of plastic from the oceans and discarded fishing nets, into yarn and later into textiles, as well as the reuse of coffee grounds, transformed into bio skin. This project is not just a business for Andreia, but a legacy that she intends to leave for her son and for future generations, contributing to a more sustainable and healthier planet.
