Teaching

    The classroom is where the next decade of decisions gets rehearsed.

    I teach as Visiting Lecturer at Porto Business School — Investment Readiness and Entrepreneurship Lab across three MBA programs, all courses created from scratch; former Director of the Entrepreneurship Center — and at FGV Brasília, where I teach Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Strategic Challenges, and created IEX, the international applied learn-by-doing program delivered in Porto, piloted in 2026 and renewed for 2027.

    The practice

    Method.
    Programs.
    Grounding.

    • Method

      Learn-by-doing

      Learn-by-doing, literally: my classrooms build real ventures with real customers — student teams generate real revenue inside the semester, not slideware. Project-, challenge-, and problem-based learning, because judgment isn't transferred by slides; it's rehearsed under pressure.

    • For companies & institutions

      Custom programs

      Beyond the universities, I design and deliver tailored programs for companies, accelerators, and institutions: entrepreneurship and venture building, investment readiness, innovation practice, and AI literacy for leadership teams. Formats from intensive days to full programs — designed once, for your context, with named outcomes.

    • Portfolio

      Grounding

      More than a decade designing and delivering education — courses, executive programs, keynotes, and masterclasses at Porto Business School, FGV, UC Berkeley, PUCPR, UPTEC, Universidade do Porto, and Aarhus, among others · eight years as chief mentor, European Innovation Academy · Expert in Residence, Hult Prize · 1,000+ founders mentored · programs delivered across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

    Frameworks are scaffolding.

    Judgment is the building.

    What they build is what they keep.
