🎙 In the latest episode of DEALS with Gonçalo Almeida, we have the honor of welcoming Rui Almeida, CEO of Fabridoce and member of the Advisory Board at Harbor Partners.
Throughout the conversation, we explored Rui’s journey — from starting over in Portugal after leaving Angola to building a company that is now a benchmark in preserving traditional Portuguese convent sweets.
We talked about the challenges of keeping tradition alive in a constantly evolving market, the commitment to the team and the community, and the role of leadership in a business that is, above all, a mission.
Rui also shares what it's like to work side by side with his family, the transformation process at Fabridoce, and the lessons learned at pivotal moments in his career.
In a market where resilience and innovation go hand in hand, Fabridoce stands as a living example of how strong values and strategic vision can build businesses with soul and impact.
At Harbor Partners, we believe the stories behind businesses are the true driving force of smart investment — and Rui Almeida perfectly embodies this blend of passion, tradition, and future.
