About

25+ years of proof,
not just experience.

From Silicon Valley to global scale-ups, I've built product organizations that turned roadmaps into revenue - and led teams through IPOs, acquisitions, and everything in between.

Product leadership has always been about choices. For me, it comes down to three: where to play, how to win, and what to ignore. Over the past 25+ years, I've helped B2B SaaS startups make those choices with conviction - turning uncertainty into focus, and focus into revenue.

I've scaled companies from single-digit ARR to $100M+, built durable product organizations across the U.S. and Europe, and led teams through IPOs and acquisitions. Along the way I've learned that clarity - not frameworks - is what moves organizations forward.

Recognized as one of the Top 25 Product Executives, I now bring Silicon Valley-proven product leadership to founders and investors worldwide. Today I'm based in Lisbon, Portugal, working with teams who want product to be their growth engine, not a cost center.

Beyond client work, I mentor rising product leaders, guest on podcasts, speak globally on strategy and AI, and am currently building Cimanote - more on that below.

When I'm not working, you'll find me with my family, traveling, or on the padel court.

Principles I work by.

Strategy before slides

Clarity beats frameworks. I don't hand you a deck - I hand you a decision.

Decisions create value

Velocity matters more than volume. One right call is worth ten deferred ones.

Teams > features

Great product organizations outlast any roadmap. Build the org first.

Revenue is the scoreboard

Impact measured in outcomes, not outputs. Products exist to grow the business.

Recognized globally.

What I'm building
Cimanote
Cimanote
Note-taking without the bloat

I practice what I preach.

I've spent 25 years helping others build products. This year I decided to build one myself - not for the vanity of it, but because I saw a real problem and had the clarity to solve it simply.

Cimanote started as a personal fix for Evernote's decline. It's become a live experiment in everything I advise: speed, ruthless clarity about what to build, and the discipline to say no to everything else.

Cimanote
Cimanote
Note-taking without the bloat
A fast, clean note-taking app for people who want what Evernote used to be - before the feature bloat, the price hikes, and the forgotten simplicity.

Built with zero budget, zero marketing team, and a very clear point of view.

✓ Fast    ✓ Clean    ✓ No bloat

Let's see if we're a good fit.

I work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure every engagement gets my full attention. If you're serious about fixing your product org, let's talk.
