Co-founded OutSystems, a unicorn tech company built out of Lisbon. I spent over 23 years helping build the business from the ground up, taking on whatever roles and challenges needed to move us forward. Until April 2024, I served as an executive, deeply involved in every phase of the company’s journey.
OutSystems pioneered the low-code software category and turned it into a global market. What started as a bold idea became a European success story — a company now generating over €500M in annual revenue and trusted by major enterprises worldwide to drive their digital and AI transformation efforts. OutSystems is running strong, with a solid product, deep talent, and a sharp focus on helping large organizations adapt and lead in an AI-first world.
I continue to serve on the board of OutSystems, working alongside great minds from Goldman Sachs, KKR, Armilar, Guided Post, and some outstanding independent operators.
These days, I channel my energy into building and backing what I believe in. I invest in multiple sectors but mostly technology — directly and through Armilar, arguably the top VC in Portugal — and I work closely with founders and execs I respect, helping them navigate the hard, messy, and exciting parts of building something that matters.
I’m focused on investing in people and early companies solving real-world, physical problems at scale — especially where AI, autonomy, and new intelligence can unlock massive value. I want to explore sectors that are overdue for innovation.
I want to hear from Portuguese founders, researchers and companies but also from anywhere in Europe.

I also support a range of founders fighting to grow their companies.
