About Sérgio Coimbra Henriques

Sérgio Coimbra Henriques is General Counsel at one of the global leaders of biosolutions and crop protection to help feed the planet through well-balanced agriculture.

In addition to being a Lawyer and Patent Attorney, he holds a PhD in Corporate Law from NOVA School of Law. Previously held positions as lawyer at the Portuguese Securities Exchange Commission and as a Senior Consultant at PwC.

In his professional activity, he always kept a considerable involvement with the start-up ecosystem, having relevant experience in counseling innovative business ventures, including the identification of the main legal risks associated with business expansion, as well as outlining strategies to prevent or mitigate them.

Being a Mentor at NOVA is an opportunity to give back to my University’s community, which also generated a lot of support and enthusiasm for my own projects several years ago. Now is the time to give back, supporting the development of new projects and ideas at NOVA by sharing the knowledge and experience acquired over the years.

Why I mentor

Being a Mentor at NOVA is an opportunity to return to my University’s community all the support and enthusiasm that the Entrepreneurship Office gave me a while ago. Now is the time to give back, supporting the development of new projects and ideas at NOVA by sharing the knowledge and experience acquired over the years.
