Senior leader with 15+ years of experience across the startup and tech ecosystem, bringing a hands-on, results-driven approach to growth. Over the past 7+ years at Amazon Web Services, I’ve built and scaled startup programs and GTM initiatives across EMEA with a strong commercial focus, driving adoption, pipeline influence, and long-term growth through execution. I’ve worked closely with founders, venture capital funds, incubators, and accelerators to create durable, ecosystem-led impact at scale. I’m a former entrepreneur with global experience at organizations such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, the United Nations, and the Government of Portugal. I know what it means to build from zero, adapt fast, and stay resilient, both in early-stage environments and within complex, global organizations. My leadership style is rooted in coaching, empathy, and clarity. I care deeply about building high-performing, mission-driven teams, and I believe strong leadership combines accountability with humanity, and execution with trust. Known for my energy and optimism, I lead with curiosity and connection, even under pressure, and believe that leadership means showing up with both strength and vulnerability. Core values: resilience, grit, empathy, and vulnerability. 🙌Known for my energy and optimism, I lead with curiosity and connection, even under pressure.
