Alexandra Andrade

Alexandra Andrade is Country Manager of Adecco Portugal and brings over 20 years of experience in Human Resources. She currently strengthens her commitment to the business ecosystem as a member of the Board of Directors of the Portuguese-Spanish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCILE) and the Portuguese-Swiss Chamber of Commerce.

Her career began with an interest in criminal investigation linked to social research—an area that sparked her curiosity through the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. While awaiting a response from the Judicial Police, she discovered her passion for Human Resources and began her career as a consultant, eventually becoming the only woman and the youngest member of the board of a recruitment startup within the country’s leading financial group.

In 2017, she began her international career within the Adecco Group, leading Spring Professional in Spain and, in 2020, Badenoch + Clark. In 2021, she was appointed Senior Vice President for Southern Europe, with responsibilities across Italy and Spain. Driven by a strong purpose to create opportunities and a sense of fulfillment for people, Alexandra now brings her extensive international experience back to her home country, helping to position Adecco as a leading reference in Human Resources and human development.
