I am a product designer, passionate about technology and a professional dedicated to developing projects that offer cutting-edge services to financial institutions, boosting global startups.

I have received nominations, recognitions and global awards, such as in Atlanta (USA) from the National Academy of Television, which indicates the best project producers through the Emmy Awards in 2019, Amsterdam, at Ashoka ChangeMakers in 2017, received the Astronaut Trophy in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, won the IT PRO Innovation challenge in England in 2009, received the Innovator award in Spain also in 2009 and was the winner of the INOVABRA challenge, from Banco Bradesco in 2016. I have stood out in competitions such as Founder’s Institute, Innovativa Brasil, Social Good Fashion Lab, and the Innovation Lab in the Fashion Chain of the C&A Foundation.

Inspired by the entrepreneurial legacy of my grandfather, a Portuguese businessman, I founded innovative startups, including Modellagio (design and fashion), Bit.One aka Transfero (financial solutions), The Pay Group (payment methods) and CifraPay (financial institution), acting as an investor and founder.

Today, with licenses in Europe, Canada, the United States and Asia, my projects are all managed by the Alby Foundation based in the United Arab Emirates. With offices in Dubai, São Paulo and New York, the Alby Foundation supports and attracts startups from different countries, aiming to boost the growth of global enterprises.
