Thank you for your interest in my story and background.
In summary, I am an SEO professional who acts as a consultant and advisor.
Building websites and blog networks at the age of 16 opened my eyes to the possibilities of the “digital world” but it also helped me see business opportunities as a young adult in the marketing field.
Diving into this field when I was 19 years old exposed me to innovative professionals and tough business challenges. The journey led from remotely following a particular executive to becoming his employee and eventually venturing into business together.
I have developed a more in-depth understanding of Digital Marketing and the Front-End Development Agency market in Brazil. Working with most of the top-tier retailers in that market and having a direct hand in a sizeable company merger exposed me to brilliant American investors.
My accomplishments in Brazil and my collaboration with American business partners inspired me to move to the United States and to study more about Product Marketing and User Acquisition.
At this point, I’m proud to call the city of San Francisco my home where I have worked with many startups in various industries, such as Fintech (specifically with Cryptocurrency), Autonomous Cars, and B2B Services. The great thing about working with technology is that in this industry things never get old and I enjoy new challenges.
Since 2018 I have been working in the MedTech and HealthTech field with the company PEBMED, responsible for the Whitebook App and now part of the Afya (NASDAQ:AFYA) which has companies such as iClinic, CliqueFarma, Medcel, and others in its portfolio.
In 2020, I started to make angel investments and strategic acquisitions of small companies and websites.
In 2021, I published my first book: “SEO for Non-SEO People“
In 2022, I launched the website Vagas de SEO as a project to help the Brazilian SEO community find new job opportunities and develop their careers and skills.
In 2023, I became a partner in a Digital PR agency, Search One Digital, with the goal of continuing to operate in the Brazilian SEO market, helping large clients who require dedicated teams.
Now, in 2024, I maintain my position as a consultant and advisor, while continuing to invest in and grow my portfolio of independent companies.
