Bio
I started in 2011 earning $250 a month, commuting six hours a day by bus.
Today, I lead businesses in the USA, Portugal, and Brazil — built on vision, culture, and real execution.
I work with people who value substance over noise. Those who look for businesses with strong fundamentals, clear leadership, and the ability to grow without depending on hype or personal branding. My focus is building operations that stand on process, people, and long-term thinking.
I’ve been in the financial sector since 2011, founder of Port (a credit fintech in Brazil) and responsible for the turnaround of Awake Fitness in Portugal. I’m not a business presenter. I’m a founder — present in the decisions, close to the operation, and accountable for results.
If you’re looking for real impact, with people who execute, adapt, and deliver — not just promise —
you’re in the right place.
