# Product Builder and Operator Location[Portugal](https://jobicy.com/resume-region/portugal.md)Rate, USD Not specifiedWork schedule Full Time, Links Language skills Danish, English, Portuguese, SpanishAvailable for Hire Yes [Hire me](#resume-dialog) Save Log in to save ## About me I am an innovative and results-driven Founder and Operator with almost 10 years of startup operations leadership. I manage and oversee critical business functions – HR, Finance, Legal, Compliance, Recruiting, Support, and Press Relations – by building scalable systems and processes. I’ve led teams through growth and complex operational challenges in the AEC and construction sector. I own budgeting, compensation reviews, vendor management, planning cycles, and metrics tracking, and track performance via dashboards to power data-driven decision-making. I also manage funding milestones and compliance reporting to secure traditional financing. As a mentor and leader in FI.co, Fintech House Lisbon, and Latitud, I function as a trusted partner to founders and builders. I bring clarity through structured thinking, high-trust discretion, and execution-focused ownership. Thriving in ambiguity, I love to overdeliver when hope seems lost. ## Professional area ### [Management & Operations](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/management.md) ## Skills ### [Branding](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/branding.md)[Budgeting](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/budgeting.md)[Data Analysis](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/data-analysis.md)[E-commerce](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/ecommerce.md)[HR Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/hr-management.md)[Market Research](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/market-research.md)[Mentoring](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/mentoring.md)[Operations Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/operations-management.md)[Project Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/project-management.md)[Recruiting](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/recruiting.md)[Risk Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/risk-management.md)[Stakeholder Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/stakeholder-management.md)[Strategic Planning](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/strategic-planning.md)[Team Leadership](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/team-leadership.md)[Vendor Management](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/vendor-management.md) ## Education Sep 2012 – Aug 2014 Bachelor of International Business Administration @ Hult International Business School Completed Studies in Two Years/Dean’s List/Honors List ## Experience Oct 2024 - Present Group Product Manager @ Instaleap LLC Leading e-commerce initiatives for top clients including SPAR, Walmart, Carrefour, and Lidl, while collaborating with finance and HR stakeholders to align team resourcing with strategic budget objectives and ensure operational efficiency.
