About

Built for paid media.
Obsessed with margin.

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

One day at a time

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

Philosophy

What drives me

01

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.

02

Vision

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.

03

Values

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

How people describe me

  • 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.
