Patricia Bairrada

With a degree in Social Communication since 1997, she began her career in the Portuguese press, but found the real pleasure of communicating through the Hospitality and then Cruise Industry.

Born in Lisbon in 1975, she moved to Madeira in 2003 and tourism began to take shape in her professional development. The Reid's Palace Hotel welcomed her to the island as Marketing Coordinator and in 2005 she joined the Madeira Ports Authority, where she became responsible for the entire Marketing, PR and Commercial area. In June 2023 she was officially appointed as Commercial Director of Madeira Ports.

Travelling and spending time with the family are priorities, but being able to help others on a daily basis is a motto
