Mission
Understand the business first. Customer, value proposition, funnel, scale — all in service of whoever trusts me with their budget. The platform is the last thing I open.
About
Senior paid media operator with 5+ years across Google Ads, Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads. Master's in Marketing (IPVC, 18/20) and undergraduate degree in Advertising & PR (IPV, 17/20). I run paid like the P&L is mine — because for the brands I work with, it is. Currently full-time at SpartAds in Portugal; open to select international engagements (UK/IE focus) and senior contract or full-time roles abroad. Lisbon time zone (UTC+0/+1). Remote-first.

In motion
On panels, in studios, in agencies, on the train. Wherever there's a paid media problem to solve.

Philosophy
Understand the business first. Customer, value proposition, funnel, scale — all in service of whoever trusts me with their budget. The platform is the last thing I open.
Build brands for the long term. Quick wins when available, but always with one eye on the next quarter and the next year. No shortcuts that compromise the future.
I give my best on every project. I tell you what works and what doesn't — no fluff. Partnerships only work when both sides win.
Traits
Reads the P&L before the dashboard
Some weeks the file I open most isn't Google Ads. It's the margin sheet.
Asks 'why' until it gets annoying
Before touching a campaign, I want to know why it exists.
Communicates in two lines
Short reports. Clear decisions. No dashboards pretending to be reports.
Fails in public
When a hypothesis breaks, I write about it. I've learned more from mistakes than from courses.
Accepts the 'no'
If you're not a fit, I'll say so. I'll point you to someone who is. Better that than a regretful client.
