David Azevedo Lopes is a speaker at ISEG Executive Education. In addition to his diverse professional background, he founded Casa das Letras Bed&Books in 2020.

Previously, he held prominent positions including board member at Parque Expo, board member and managing director of the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation, and executive director of the Lisbon Oceanarium.
In January 2019, Japan captured his attention. Upon his initial arrival to assume the role of senior advisor to the retail giant Aeon, the notion of experiencing the quietude amidst a bustling city lingered in his thoughts. A year later, he bid farewell to the brief monthly sojourns to Tokyo and relocated to the Japanese capital, now at the helm of Aeon Topvalu, a subsidiary of the Aeon conglomerate. It was during this transition that he commenced chronicling his encounters, observations, and reflections from his unique vantage point. Alongside the pursuits of knowing, learning, working, and traveling, he embraced sailing and reading, cherishing these endeavors when his schedule afforded him precious moments to savor life.
