Eduardo previously held senior management posts at the Hilton Group
Benelux. In 2001 he founded EcoVase International a company focused on
developing single use disposal environmental products for use in
hospitals. He successfully introduced his first product a disposable flower

and daily consultation with hospital staff. He applied his findings and
combined with his previous years experience in hotel management to the
development of Pharmafilter. Pharmafilter today is being introduced to
hospital across Europe and this is as a result of his passion, vision,
