Rui Lopes

Founder of OM academy. MBA from London Business School with more than 20 years experience in investment banking, at JPMorgan and Merrill Lynch in London and head of Mergers & Acquisitions team at BPI, followed by 5 years as senior manager of a portuguese listed corporate. Passionate practitioner of various sports (crossfit, kitesurfing, skiing, running, hiking, swimming and cycling.

Started with yoga and meditation in 2012, assimilating the importance of a lighter and more serene approach to find a more positive relationship with professional challenges and demands. I believe in a complete approach to the development of the person, physically, emotionally and mentally. Body awareness and the principles of Mindfulness allow for greater self-knowledge and "training" skills of the mind, sometimes neglected in the modern world – but valuable for high-performance and stressful careers, to build a life with more meaning, well-being and impact on the world.
