SEEKING WORK | Business Growth Consultant | Strategy, Go-to-Market, and Scalable Systems for Startups | Remote | Project-based or Part-time
With 18+ years of experience helping small and medium-sized businesses double (and often more) their revenue, I specialize in turning ambitious growth goals into actionable strategies. My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, implementation, and market expansion—with a focus on both short-term wins and long-term scale.
Core Focus Areas:
Product Strategy – Designing or refining offers that meet market needs and scale profitably
Go-to-Market Planning – Building and executing effective launch strategies
Strategic Partnerships – Creating and managing high-value alliances for growth
Business Development – Identifying new revenue streams and expanding markets
Operational Efficiency – Streamlining internal processes to boost performance
Fundraising - Helping startups hone in on their value proposition and tailor it to VCs
I help organizations implement:
The right tech stack to productize services, automate lead gen, and build real-time dashboards that empower leadership decision-making with a proven scaling methodology that enables exponential growth across key business areas.
VC & Entrepreneurial Experience:
I was Innovation Strategy Lead at 500 Global, a Silicon Valley-based VC and then I became an entrepreneur and was accelerated by Antler, another global VC focused primarily on B2B SaaS. I've lived and worked in North and South America, in the Middle East, in Europe and now the UK. I speak English, Portuguese, French and Spanish fluently and have deep networks in the Paris, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and London ecosystems. I focus in the following areas: AI (especially generative AI), climate tech, health tech, and fintech. I am especially interested in AI-driven automation, sustainable innovations, and ethical digital finance solutions. I am working with a Menlo Park-based VC launching its first fund and scouting for a London-based VC. In addition to consulting, I am a board member to 3 startups.
