About

25+ years of proof,
not just experience.

From Silicon Valley to global scale-ups, I've built and scaled product organizations - and now I help B2B SaaS leaders redesign their operating models so AI actually compounds into business results.

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 companies make those choices - and today the biggest choice is this: AI tools are working at the individual level, but the operating model isn't designed to let the gains compound.

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 focus on the gap between AI investment and AI results - helping B2B SaaS leaders redesign their operating models so AI actually delivers at the org level. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, working with teams worldwide.

I also build what I advise on. I'm currently shipping Cimanote - a SaaS product built by a 3-person team running entirely on AI-native workflows. The frameworks I share aren't theory. More below.

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

Principles I work by.

Operating model first

Tools don't fix broken systems. Fix the system.

Decisions create value

Flatten authority to where information lives.

Discipline over experimentation

Hackathons create activity. Operating discipline creates outcomes.

Revenue is the scoreboard

Impact measured in compounding results, not AI adoption metrics.

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 to prove that AI-native workflows actually work. Cimanote is a live experiment in everything I advise: small team, AI-native operating model, shipping fast.

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 your AI investment isn't compounding, let's talk.
