Fulfilling Executive Leaders' Ambitions | #H2H: Human-to-Human Author | 200+ Keynotes | TEDx Speaker | Silicon Valley, CA 🇺🇸 + Lisbon 🇵🇹

You’re not stuck. You’re just outgrowing the playbook that got you here.
High performers reach a point where the same tools stop working. The mask of certainty cracks. And what used to feel like drive? Starts to feel like depletion.

I know the signs because I’ve lived them—and coached through them.
Over the last two decades, I’ve helped thousands of leaders, entrepreneurs, and exec teams redefine how they lead—by shifting from performative perfection to aligned presence.
I started a global movement (#H2H), gave a TED Talk on why sharing redefines the future, built one of Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing agencies, and wrote two bestsellers. But what matters more than the accolades is the ripple effect: helping humans lead better, live fuller, and build from clarity instead of chaos.

If you’re navigating a shift, personally or professionally, I coach high-performing executives ready to evolve their leadership, their business, or both. I also speak and advise on how to lead with trust, create high-impact cultures, and scale what matters.

Let’s talk if you’re:
	•	Leading a team that’s growing faster than your systems
	•	Reimagining your role, your brand, or your business
	•	Ready to stop forcing and start aligning

P.S. I’m based in Lisbon and Silicon Valley, speak globally, and still believe the most powerful thing you can be is human.

Favourite quotes and passages:
"How much are you supposed to like what you do? Unless you know that, you don't know when to stop searching. And if, like most people, you underestimate it, you'll tend to stop searching too early. You'll end up doing something chosen for you by your parents, or the desire to make money, or prestige—or sheer inertia." -Paul Graham

"Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius." - Peter Thiel

"Startups are as impersonal as physics. You have to make something people want." -Paul Graham

"Whenever I interview someone for a job, I like to ask this question: What important truth do very few people agree with you on? This question sounds easy because it's straightforward. Actually, it's very hard to answer. It's intellectually difficult because the knowledge that everyone is taught in school is by definition agreed upon." -Peter Thiel
