Duarte Cardoso Ferreira

Working in an architectural studio was the foundation of Duarte Cardoso Ferreira’s career.
He even founded his own office with other partners and long-time friends and never thought he’d stop being an architect, until the sub-prime crisis hit.
Change became inevitable, and what at first was supposed to be a temporary foray into the corporate world turned out to be a path full of surprises and opportunities. A path that led him to the world’s largest real estate company, CBRE, where he is now the national head of strategic consulting.
