01 — Profile

I'm a seasoned professional operating across three distinct dimensions — commercial leadership, data intelligence, and digital consulting. Based in Bulle, Switzerland, my work sits at the intersection of business development, technology, and strategy.

At APSOparts — the B2B online shop of the Angst+Pfister Group — I lead regional sales across French Switzerland and France while heading business intelligence: building CRM systems, automation pipelines, and data infrastructure that power commercial operations across European markets.

As CEO of Challenging Dawn, I run a boutique IT and business consultancy focused on digital transformation — from web presence and brand identity to management systems, AI automation, and process optimization. Portuguese-rooted, European in reach.

Fluent across five languages, experienced in six European markets, and equally at home in a boardroom conversation or a technical architecture session.
