[ 02 / Summary ] the operator

Built before AI made it easier.

Seven years operating across digital education, B2B SaaS, online coaching, and consumer products. Strategy, execution, and the AI systems that scale it — built in one operator.

Based in Lisbon. Operating across EU, UK, US. I bring a builder's mindset to growth roles: I design strategy, ship the execution, and build the AI systems that scale it. My edge is the intersection where most growth marketers can't operate yet — performance marketing × AI engineering × art-directed AI content production.

AI doesn't fix mediocrity. It amplifies what's already there. The seven years before AI made it easier are what make the AI layer compound now — four roles (strategy, copy, design, AI engineering) into one senior operator, without inflating the org chart.

[ What I do ]
  • Design and scale full-funnel growth systems — cold traffic → activation → retention
  • Run performance campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn with measurable ROAS
  • Build AI agents and workflows for lead qualification, personalization, content automation
  • Ship landing pages, MVPs, internal AI tools — Claude Code, Lovable, v0
  • Produce AI-native content end-to-end — cinematic video, ad creatives, copy, landing pages
  • Operate as strategic sparring partner on growth and AI strategy

Map the system. Find growth points. Execute. I start with the current reality of the business — processes, funnel, channels, team, data, constraints — not with ideas. Then prioritize by impact, speed, and what the team can actually run.

[ 03 / Experience ] three roles · one operator

The work and the numbers.

Three roles. Three case cards. Ordered by recency. Numbers run the case. If a role has no numbers, it doesn't ship.
