About

I’m driven by solving complex data problems and designing scalable, holistic systems. At Sheetgo, we connect, transform, and operationalise data across teams and systems — making things that feel complex (integration, automation, interoperability) simple and accessible for non-technical users, while remaining robust enough to scale across organizations, industries, AI, and data spaces. I’m also Chairman of Wisesheets, helping 70,000+ investors access and analyse global financial data directly from spreadsheets or APIs. Earlier in my career, I co-founded a Best for the World B-Corp in Brazil, was a founding investor and board member of Impact Hub Brazil and Spain, and shared my work through a book, a TEDx talk, and features in The Economist and Money Today. Today, I balance building data-driven companies with raising five kids, optimising health and longevity, competing in triathlons, and retrofitting homes.

Experience

  • CEO at Sheetgo
    2016 - Present · 10 yrs 6 mos

    Have you ever felt we work in data silos? That’s how I particularly feel about all the information we have everywhere, and the only way I´ve found that I and others can play with it is with spreadsheets. More over that data is necessary to automate processes. Combining this idea with a prominently technology and product approach, and an emphasis on user happiness we created Sheetgo. From the get go our user, customer and team base has been completely international and early on have been recognized with numerous awards in US, Europe and Latin America...but we are all aware its all about execution, so that’s my day to day
