Businesses rarely fail because of bad ideas. More often, they fail because execution breaks down. Teams lose direction, operations become reactive, and growth stalls. That's where I do my best work.
For more than 20 years, I've built, launched, and transformed businesses across hospitality, retail, logistics, events, and financial services. I've led operations with full P&L responsibility, managed teams of more than 100 people, launched new concepts, rebuilt underperforming departments, and consistently delivered sustainable profitability.
As General Manager of Porto Franco, I helped grow revenue more than 3× while improving operational efficiency, rebuilding service standards, and developing high-performing teams across kitchen, service, administration, sales, and marketing. Alongside executive leadership, I founded Guda Toys, building a retail business from the ground up with more than 120 SKUs, supplier partnerships, and both physical and digital sales channels.
I also design and teach professional dispatching programs, helping new logistics professionals become job-ready through practical, real-world training.
What makes me different is the combination of operational leadership and strategic creativity. I don't separate business strategy from customer experience or brand identity. Whether I'm restructuring operations, launching a restaurant, improving profitability, or redesigning a brand, every decision supports the same objective: building businesses that operate better, grow faster, and create lasting value.
If you're looking for someone to improve operations, launch a new concept, strengthen leadership teams, or solve complex business challenges, let's connect. I'm always open to consulting projects, executive leadership opportunities, and long-term collaborations.
