About

I believe technology should simplify life, not complicate it. That’s the mission behind sheerME: we’re building the wellness super app that empowers people to book, pay, and benefit from wellness and beauty services effortlessly. From haircuts to massages, from Rio to Lisbon, we’re connecting communities to self-care in a way that’s smart, seamless, and rewarding. What makes sheerME different? We’re not just a booking platform. We’re a community-first, cashback-powered ecosystem where users thrive, partners grow, and everyone wins. Think convenience meets loyalty, wrapped in a beautifully intuitive experience. My journey so far: • Launched and exited BestTables to TripAdvisor—today it’s known as TheFork. • Helped Zomato scale globally, launching and leading Europe & LATAM ops alongside the founder. • Now leading sheerME with a clear vision: make wellness services digital, inclusive, and engaging. I move fast, dream big, and solve real problems with bold tech. If you’re building, investing, or just vibing with this mission—let’s connect. Quote to follow: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
