I work with founders in the moments that matter most — when things feel chaotic, urgent, and high-stakes, and you need clarity, execution, and honest guidance fast. I’m a trilingual (English, Spanish, Portuguese) dual U.S.–Brazilian citizen and operations leader with a track record of scaling bootstrapped and early-stage companies under real pressure — not theory, not vibes. I’ve rebuilt companies from the brink of failure, including saving a bootstrapped SaaS business from bankruptcy and scaling it from $0 to nearly $1M in revenue in under three years. In less than a year, my teams broke internal records, with nearly 300 candidates accepting offers across VC-backed, PE-backed, and public companies. I’ve also driven 4× revenue growth in under 12 months at a PE-focused recruiting firm serving industrial, manufacturing, and mid-market operators. What I do best is turn vision into reality — fast, lean, and with integrity. How I help founders I specialize in moments where things are messy but critical: • Getting your operations, revenue motion, or hiring strategy unstuck • Translating vision into executable roadmaps and systems • Building lean processes when there’s no margin for waste • Designing org structure, roles, and hiring scorecards before mistakes get expensive • Pressure-testing decisions before they cost you time, money, or credibility I’ve built RevOps engines, business development systems, hiring infrastructure, and no-code automations that saved teams 10+ hours per week — without adding headcount or relying on engineering. I understand how to make a dollar do the work of ten because I’ve spent my career in bootstrapped, constrained environments where creativity, discipline, and execution are non-negotiable. Founder partnership (this matters) What differentiates my work isn’t just execution — it’s judgment and presence. When others hesitate, stall, or step away, I stay. I’m the person founders come to when things feel fragile, overwhelming, or stuck — and I figure out how to move things forward. I’m not afraid of hard moments, meltdowns, or uncomfortable truths. Building something meaningful is emotionally demanding, and I’ve lived that reality alongside founders and leadership teams. I don’t judge it, and I don’t disappear when it shows up. I bring high standards, clear expectations, and honest candor — always delivered with respect and kindness. I’ll tell you the things you may not want to hear, because you need to hear them, and because I’m invested in your success. Think of me as a coach with standards: supportive, direct, and persistent. I won’t hand-hold, but I won’t abandon you halfway through the work either. Who I work best with • Bootstrapped or early-stage founders (0→1 or 1→100) • Founders navigating chaos, uncertainty, or rapid change • Neurodivergent and non-traditional founders who want clarity, not judgment • Leaders who want a trusted right hand, not surface-level advice If you need someone who can stay grounded while things are intense, help you see clearly, and push execution forward when it counts — that’s where I do my best work.

Advisory Scope Summary

I advise early-stage and bootstrapped founders at critical inflection points — when clarity, execution, and disciplined decision-making matter most. My work spans Operations, Revenue Operations, Hiring & Org Design, and Founder Support, with a focus on stabilizing chaos, building lean systems, and turning vision into executable reality. I partner closely with founders as a right hand — pressure-testing strategy, designing practical roadmaps, and helping teams move faster without burning time, money, or trust. I’m known for clear judgment, honest candor delivered with kindness, and the ability to get things unstuck when others can’t.
