The first person we would like to talk about is Elsa, one of the four founding partners of the company. If Efficiency had a first name, it would probably be Elsa. But actually, Elsa Efficiency doesn\u2019t sound that nice, does it? Believe us though, it makes perfect sense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Datasheet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Full name: Elsa\nMaria Pereira Gomes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Age: 46 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Birthplace:\nLisbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Academic degree:\nMaster\u2019s Degree in Translation (ISLA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was born in\nLisbon, into a small family, but with great human values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fan of a good detective novel,\naddicted to Criminal Minds and with a passion for Agatha Christie, Elsa loves\nthe exhilarating rush of adrenaline of a great plot. Hadn\u2019t she seized\nwith both hands the opportunity of a lifetime and embarked on this voyage\ncalled TETRAEPIK, she would probably be trying to uncover difficult cases of criminal\ninvestigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She loves to dance and it is a well-known secret that Elsa doesn\u2019t miss a chance, at the company\u2019s anniversary parties, to jump to the dance floor as soon as the music starts playing. At the age of 24 she decided to start a dance of her own, but not like the traditional \u201cpas de deux\u201d (literally a \u201cstep of two\u201d), but in a \u201cpas de quatre\u201d (a dance for four) \u2013 she started, with three colleagues, what would become the project of a lifetime: the foundation of a language service provider that she had envisioned the moment she initiated her professional career in this field. For years, she got to experience other realities with other language agencies and soon became aware that not all companies dance to the same rhythm. Thus, she also knew exactly what tempo she would like to implement at her own company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She considers\nherself stubborn, but she prefers to be considered resilient. Maybe that is one\nof the factors that allow her to bring values such as perseverance and spirit\nof sacrifice into the company, which were essential during what Elsa considers\nto have been the most difficult moment in TETRAEPIK’s life: the 2002 recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other\nhand, in her view, the best moment in TETRAEPIK\u2019s history was being awarded an\ninternational prize in 2007 that actually represented a public recognition of TETRAEPIK\u2019s\ndaily work and aim: to put our best efforts and qualities into every project we\naccept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is a\nconfident, self-assured and determined woman who states in a very affirmative\nway that she \u201ccan (almost) every time get to the right place, even if she\noccasionally gets lost along the way\u201d. She has brought this energy on a daily\nbasis to TETRAEPIK and feels really proud about having been able to turn an\ninitiative marked for crashing and burning into something that has gone\nextraordinarily well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TETRAEPIK: How\nis it like to be a founding partner and the Quality Director at TETRAEPIK and\nwhat are the main challenges you have to face daily? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsa: Being part\nof this company is easy. I had the luck and the privilege to find perfect\npartners. Being the Quality Director is far more difficult though. Quality is\nactually what defines us as a company and what allows us to be a successful\nplayer in our industry for more than 22 years now. It is a daily ongoing work\nand it is that ONE aspect that can never fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking to the\npast, analysing the present and imagining the future, Elsa considers that\nTETRAEPIK stands out from the pack due to the constant effort we put in to help\nour clients thrive. \u201cEverything has to do with our clients and their interests\u201d.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TETRAEPIK: What\nare we doing really well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsa: A 100%\ndedication to all projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TETRAEPIK: And\nwhat are we not doing so well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsa: We have\nhad some difficulties in letting go of some old habits that might well benefit\nour clients\u2019 needs and interests, but that actually prevent us from being\ncompetitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an ending\nnote, she states that her expectations for the future lie in the \u201csolid and\nsustained growth of the company\u201d and, leveraging her ability to communicate\nwith others, she asked the genie in the bottle to make her wish come true and\nfinally let TETRAEPIK show off its cha-cha-cha skills on international stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We tried through\nthis post to present Elsa and let you get to know her a little, but we failed.\nActually, defining her is not easy because what defines her is \u201cthe constant\neffort to have no definition at all\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
