Executive learning takes on a whole new dimension when it brings together academic knowledge, business experience, and the concrete challenges faced by organizations.
It is based on this principle that Nova SBE Executive Education and Glovo Portugal are formalizing a new partnership, designed to strengthen talent development, promote continuous learning, and deepen the exchange of knowledge between the academic and business worlds.
The signing of this agreement marks the beginning of a collaboration aimed at creating value in two ways: opening up new development opportunities for Glovo’s teams and, at the same time, exposing Nova SBE Executive Education participants to the experience, knowledge, and reality of an organization that operates in a sector characterized by innovation, digital transformation, and constant evolution.
A partnership built around learning
The collaboration is based on two complementary pillars.
On the one hand, Glovo employees will have access to executive training opportunities at Nova SBE Executive Education, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to the continuous development of its people and leaders.
On the other hand, Glovo’s leadership and management team can contribute to various learning opportunities by sharing knowledge and practical experience through initiatives such as events, conferences, executive sessions, workshops, and learning boot camps.
This close relationship makes it possible to create a learning experience that is more closely tied to the real challenges organizations face and the changes taking place in the market.
Areas such as leadership, organizational development, entrepreneurship, innovation, digital transformation, logistics, operations, customer experience, growth, international expansion, sustainability, people management, and organizational culture may be part of this collaboration.
Bringing knowledge and the business world closer together
For NovaSBE Executive Education, partnerships of this nature are also a way to enrich the learning process itself.
Knowledge is not built solely through academic reflection. It also develops through interaction with organizations, leaders, and teams that face new challenges every day, test different solutions, and help transform the sectors in which they operate.
It is at this intersection of knowledge and practice that the most meaningful learning experiences are created.
As Pedro Brito, CEO of Nova SBE Executive Education, notes, “part of knowledge is built and acquired through close engagement with organizations and the specific challenges they face.”
The partnership with Glovo allows us to strengthen that connection: it brings participants closer to the business world while also contributing to the professional development of the people who are part of the organization.
Talent Development as an Investment in the Future
For Glovo, this partnership is part of a broader commitment to building a culture of continuous learning and talent development.
In a context where organizations need to keep pace with increasingly rapid changes in business models, technology, and people’s expectations, developing skills is no longer just a training initiative. It has become a strategic aspect of the ability to adapt and grow.
Adrian Mayans, General Manager of Glovo in Portugal, highlights this very vision when he states that “talent is our main driver of growth.”
In a video, Adrian Mayans also shares Glovo’s perspective on this partnership and the role of continuous talent development in the organization’s evolution.

Creating knowledge together
More than just a relationship between a school and a company, this partnership seeks to create a space for shared learning.
For Nova SBE Executive Education, this means continuing to bridge the gap between academia and organizations, bringing new perspectives into its programs, and creating experiences that reflect the challenges leaders and teams are actually facing.
For Glovo, this represents an opportunity to continue investing in its people while also contributing knowledge, experience, and insights from an ever-evolving industry.
It is from this exchange that a richer learning experience emerges: when academic knowledge and business experience do not exist in parallel, but rather come together, challenge one another, and evolve together.
