About

Some people have a plan. Few have someone who can make it happen. I help founders, executives, and growing organizations turn strategy into executed outcomes -- by taking ownership of the delivery, systems, and operational layer they don't have time to run themselves. I'm Renato, a PRINCE2® Certified Project & Ops Manager, Systems Operator, and Execution Partner. Over 15 years I've operated at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and operations across fintech, aviation, and data protection, managing portfolios in the high seven figures and delivering for clients like Vodafone, BMW, Cisco, Bosch, and Santander. What I actually do: - I take ownership of the things that keep falling through the cracks. - I install the structures, systems, and operating rhythms that make teams move without founder or executive involvement. - I manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects from kickoff to closure on time, on budget, and with real business impact at the end. - I work with founders who need an execution partner. With executives who need a Fractional Chief of Staff. With organizations building EU projects who need a delivery lead who owns the outcome. - I don't need hand-holding, I need context and a direction. PRINCE2 Practitioner Certified. Notion Advanced Certified. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and German. Open to project mandates, retainers, and EU partnership roles. Let me know hew I can help you and your business.
