Helping people and ideas grow.
Olá, I am Liliana. I bring people, knowledge and cultures together in the seed and wine sectors — personally, attentively and with genuine curiosity.

Welcome
Connection is the common thread in everything I do.
I was born in Portugal and have lived and worked in the Netherlands for many years. My background in biology and tourism may seem an unusual combination, but to me it brings everything together: nature, people, cultures and stories.
What once began as a hobby — bringing people together, sharing knowledge and exploring new techniques — grew into my profession. I listen, think along, make the right introductions and help others achieve their goals. Not from behind a large corporate desk, but personally and close at hand.
“I believe the most rewarding collaborations arise when people truly understand one another.”
How I can help
A personal link between people, markets and cultures.
Every question starts with a conversation. Together, we explore where my experience, language skills and network can make a meaningful difference.
Connecting across borders
My language skills and cultural background help introductions feel more natural and enable mutual trust to develop more quickly.
Joining and thinking along
I support visits, trade fairs, conversations and market exploration — as a committed extension of your organisation.
Always human
A strong network does not start with business cards, but with attention.
I enjoy taking the time to understand people, their backgrounds and their ambitions. That is precisely how lasting relationships are formed.
My professional foundation
Rooted in the seed sector, grown through international connections.
A large part of my experience lies in the seed sector. For many years, I worked in breeding programmes for potted vegetables, combining this with sales and the development of international relationships.
Through trade fairs and collaborations with a wide range of partners, I have built a broad and valuable network. Today, I work in both seeds and wine: two worlds in which nature, innovation, tradition and people come together beautifully.
I speak
Portuguese · Spanish · Italian · French · English · Dutch
What inspires me
Curious about nature, flavour and the story behind every moment.
Photography
Photography is my great passion. As a member of a photography club, I regularly take part in exhibitions. With my camera, I capture stories, moments and emotions — the same details I pay attention to in my work.
