CASE / 01

OFFER STRATEGY / RETENTION

Rebuilding an underperforming cybersecurity offer

An enterprise cybersecurity offer had weak retention, an unclear value proposition, and misalignment between service scope, pricing, delivery, and commercial communication.

OUTCOMERenewal rate moved from 65% to 83%; the offer reached 53% gross margin and US$3.5M in renewed ACV in the first half of the year.

The challenge

Restore a clear commercial and operational logic without exposing client, pricing, or proprietary information.

My role

Led the strategic repositioning across portfolio strategy, operational capabilities, pricing logic, partners, and go-to-market execution.

Constraints

Enterprise buyers, regional enablement, and multiple internal teams needed a shared offer definition.

Key decisions

  • Refined the value proposition
  • Reviewed scope and packaging
  • Aligned Delivery, Product, and Sales
  • Reworked commercial communication
  • Created a clearer offer evolution path
  • Supported regional GTM and enablement

What I delivered

A sanitized offer architecture, aligned enablement narrative, and a more explicit path from service definition to regional execution.

What I learned

Retention improves when the commercial promise, operational model, and customer value are designed as one system.

CASE / 02

B2B SAAS / ADOPTION

Turning product usage into growth signals

The roadmap was heavily influenced by feature requests while the company had limited visibility into real usage, adoption, and behavioral patterns.

OUTCOMEDaily active users grew by more than 100%; managed assets grew 70%, supporting revenue growth and a stronger expansion logic.
Read caseClose case

The challenge

Move roadmap governance from opinion and requests toward evidence without ignoring the sales-assisted enterprise context.

My role

Introduced product analytics and helped establish usage-driven decision-making across Product, Sales, and Customer Success.

Constraints

Behavioral signals had to become useful to both product investment and commercial expansion conversations.

Key decisions

  • Implemented Amplitude
  • Defined behavioral events
  • Connected analytics to roadmap decisions
  • Worked on adoption and expansion signals
  • Prioritized investment from actual usage
  • Introduced product-led principles in a sales-assisted model

What I delivered

A behavioral measurement layer and a shared language for adoption, prioritization, and expansion.

What I learned

In enterprise SaaS, product analytics becomes strategic when it changes both roadmap choices and the commercial conversation.

CASE / 03

PORTFOLIO / LATAM GTM

Simplifying a fragmented cybersecurity portfolio across LATAM

After company integrations, the portfolio had overlapping services, inconsistent structures, different commercial practices, and dependencies across several countries.

OUTCOMECreated a more consistent foundation for regional GTM execution across five LATAM markets.

The challenge

Create a more coherent operating and go-to-market foundation across Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia.

My role

Worked on portfolio harmonization and GTM structure with Product, Operations, Sales, Presales, and Finance.

Constraints

The work crossed country contexts, acquired structures, commercial models, and delivery dependencies.

Key decisions

  • Organized 37 to 52 services after integrations
  • Defined service lines and categories
  • Reviewed positioning and packaging
  • Supported SKU governance
  • Prioritized about 12 strategic offers
  • Created regional commercial and enablement materials

What I delivered

A clearer portfolio map, governance inputs, and regional materials that enabled more consistent conversations with the market.

What I learned

Portfolio integration is not a taxonomy exercise; it is a cross-functional operating decision.

CASE / 04

ZERO-TO-ONE / ENTERPRISE DELIVERY

Building products from zero to enterprise adoption

From 2011 to 2022, I founded and led a technology consultancy and participated in creating B2B software products.

OUTCOMEEasy Pricing achieved NPS above 85%; one document and payment automation solution generated about R$8M in annual operational savings.
Read caseClose case

The challenge

Move from discovery through architecture, integration, deployment, and operational adoption in complex enterprise environments.

My role

Led technical and multidisciplinary teams across 50+ enterprise technology projects and co-founded Easy Pricing, a B2B SaaS pricing platform.

Constraints

Enterprise platforms, ERP integrations, critical workflows, and the responsibility to make products usable in production.

Key decisions

  • Led discovery and solution architecture
  • Managed development, integration, and production deployment
  • Built for banking, healthcare, construction, and real estate
  • Validated Easy Pricing with 10+ clients in six months
  • Connected product delivery to measurable operating impact

What I delivered

Enterprise solutions and B2B products that combined technical depth, customer context, and operational ownership.

What I learned

Product ownership is strongest when the path from technical constraints to customer and operating value stays visible.

04 / HOW I WORK

Technical capability is only the beginning.

A strong technical capability does not automatically become a strong product. I work across market needs, customer problems, operational capabilities and commercial models to create offers that teams can deliver, customers can understand and businesses can scale.

07 / ABOUT

Built close to the constraints.

I started working in technology in 2001, close to critical infrastructure, enterprise operations and real-world technical constraints. Over time, I moved from technical execution to leadership, entrepreneurship and product strategy. That path shaped how I work today. I am comfortable discussing architecture and operations, but I also understand packaging, pricing, customer adoption, revenue and go-to-market. My work is usually most valuable when the product, commercial and operational pieces do not yet fit together.

Outside work, I enjoy technology, books, poker, football, skateboarding and building side projects.
