Helping startups and scaleups to expand their teams across Europe and abroad 🌍

🚀 I help startups, scale-ups, and VC-backed companies hire smarter in Brazil 🇧🇷, Portugal 🇵🇹, and Spain 🇪🇸, three overlooked talent hubs with massive potential locally and globally.

Founder of @ambi.careers → a recruitment agency and talent community built for speed, quality, and saving founders time.

Yes, we use AI, but that’s no longer a differentiator. Everyone does. What sets us apart is what AI can’t touch: building trust, understanding culture, producing sharp content, and closing top talent fast. That’s where we win, and where our clients save the most time.

Lot’s of companies talk about diversity, but most of it feels like bla bla bla, just to check the box, no?

People don’t want to be hired just to fill a quota, they want to be hired because they’re good and because the company feels like a place where they can actually belong.

I had an incredible talk with Anastasia Pshegodskaya from Remote about this.

Not just D&I as a concept, but how content creation plays a huge role in showing who you truly are, so candidates can see themselves there (or not), without the corporate mask.

And this is already shifting.

For example, Microsoft just announced that instead of releasing another formal report, they’ll share D&I progress through stories and videos - If you are not creating content here on Linkedin, maybe it’s time to rethink that.

So let me ask you: Is diversity in your industry real or just PR? Where have you seen honest inclusion?

I’d love to hear the uncensored version.

Trabalhar menos, sem ritmo acelerado e com muito mais qualidade, é isso que o Cal Newport propõe em Slow Productivity (vale ler).

E a conversa que tive com o João Neves (founder da Bloop, uma rede social com marketplace) reforçou o mesmo ponto: equilíbrio não é o oposto do crescimento, é o combustível dele. Como o João disse: “não confunda atividade com progresso.”

Tenho escutado de alguns que "de jeito nenhum" e de outros que "é esse meu foco agora, menos é mais". 

E pra ti, slow productivity faz sentido no teu contexto?

💪 🚨 #hiring for top role in 🇵🇹 Head of B2B Sales, for one of the most exciting fitness-tech companies in Europe.

And let me be clear from the start: we are not looking for saas B2B talent.

We are looking for someone who is right now working in a company that sells services or equipment to the fitness market, and doing it internationally.

The ideal profile looks like this:
✔️ currently selling fitness equipment or gym software to multi-location clients
✔️ has international exposure (chains, networks, global operators) not just one local market
 ✔️ understands how fitness buying cycles, deployments and usage work
 ✔️ has the stamina to sell first, build later, this role starts hands-on, opening markets directly

If you’re used to sitting on top of a big local portfolio and waiting for inbound…this is not the role.

If you’ve been traveling, knocking doors, closing enterprise accounts, and shaping deals across borders… we want to talk to you. The plan is to close deals first, then start building the team from scratch.

If you are this person, DM me. If not, please repost this, as you could be supporting someone from you network :)

*Make sure you follow ambi. if you don't, we are hosting some of the coolest roles available at startups and scaleups, from Brazil, Portugal, Spain, US, UK and beyond :)

Todo mundo tem uma Nova York pra deixar pra trás. Às vezes é um cargo, um salário, uma rotina, ou só uma vida que não conversa mais com você.

A história desses dois caras reforça uma coisa simples: quando você escolhe  um trabalho que te faz bem, a vida melhora e parece que tudo flui melhor.

Eu compartilho essas histórias porque sei que, em algum nível, tem gente que sente que existe uma versão da própria vida que faria muito mais sentido do que a que vive hoje hoje.

E se esse vídeo te cutucou, mesmo que um pouquinho… talvez já seja o começo do seu movimento.

Segue o @resetedecarreira no Insta.

Lá você vai encontrar histórias reais de gente que teve coragem de recomeçar e ferramentas para construir o seu próprio Reset.
