Jose Manuel Barroso speaks to Signium consultants<\/em><\/figcaption data-aos=\"fade-up\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lisbon, Portugal – Former Portuguese Prime Minister and President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, inspired both the Signium team and a group of Lisbon business leaders, as he talked about collaboration in today\u2019s uncertain geopolitical environment. Mr. Barroso remains on the global stage as Chairman of Goldman Sachs and he described the current international environment from a position of current as well as past understanding. His 20-minute talk was followed by an hour of wide-ranging discussion with the audience covering issues from Brexit to the Middle East and from the leaders who have most inspired Mr. Barroso to some of the challenges we face in an uncertain world. 

Signium\u2019s global Chairman described the outcome of the conference in very positive language, \u2018Signium is building for the future by collaborating globally and bringing innovative thinking to the market through our offices in key business cities. It was a privilege and inspiring to hear someone of Mr. Barroso\u2019s experience and stature describe in optimistic terms the opportunities for those with a global outlook prepared to work together and understand each other\u2019s different perspectives.\u2019
