Meet the team – Priscila Faester

Priscila joined ABB Marine & Ports in 2019 leading the marketing & communications efforts for the Americas region. Responsible for all aspects of traditional and digital marketing, including communications, regional media relations, social media, events, and more, Priscila supports the Marine Systems’ team by focusing on educating the market on electrification of vessels for a more sustainable future. Her passion for sustainability is evident in many aspects of her personal and professional life.

“One of my first projects to promote was the new electric ferry for Maid of the Mist, and that was a fantastic experience. If you haven't been to the Niagara Falls yet, you should consider a visit to explore one of the Seven Natural Wonders of North America. Your tour experience with Maid of the Mist will be like nothing else - undisturbed by engine noise, vibration, or exhaust fumes from a conventional diesel engine - a fascinating experience now clean and green.” – said Priscila.

Priscila was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil and moved to Atlanta, GA in 1997 when she first arrived in US. After her residence in Atlanta, she moved to Nashville, TN and in 2018 she moved to Miami and made South Florida her new home!

Priscila has a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Universidade de Mogi das Cruzes, Sao Paulo, Brazil as well as a Marketing Strategy education from Harvard Business School. Priscila was recently also awarded one of the Top Women in Maritime, by MarineLog.
