Luís Filipe Vieira announced João Antunes and Bruno Batista as the first vice-presidents on his list for the elections of Benfica. The former President recently issued a statement, sharing his choices with the members and explaining why he is proceeding with the chosen names. The former top leader of the eagles also recently presented the official campaign video.
João Antunes, responsible for the Members, Expansion, and Internationalization departments, "brings with him solid experience in management, finance, and business expansion. With a degree in Business Administration and a master's in Marketing, Communication, and Multimedia, he built his career in banking, consulting, and business management", explains Luís Filipe Vieira's statement.
The former President's list details the ambitions of this role: "At Benfica, his goal will be to strengthen the closeness between the club and its members, increase the membership base and project the club to the diaspora and international markets, expanding its influence and results beyond borders".
Bruno Batista, who will take over the Brand, Commercial, and Communication departments, "began his career in journalism, but quickly stood out in marketing and communication, first at Delta Cafés and then at Smartbox, where he took over as marketing director". The statement then highlights other important roles he played in international companies.
Regarding what will be asked of Bruno Batista, the following is read: "With the mission of strengthening the brand's value, the effectiveness of communication, and the growth of commercial revenues and partnerships. He is currently also a commentator for CNN Portugal, reinforcing his strategic vision and analytical ability".
The statement ends with a message from Luís Filipe Vieira: "With Bruno Batista and João Antunes, the first two vice-presidents we announce, we show that we have the best team to serve Sport Lisboa and Benfica. We want a modern, competitive club that is close to its members, capable of facing the future with confidence and competence. I present myself to these elections with a project for the future, with new ideas, and a renewed team to implement them".
