Founder · Board advisor
Aroeira, Portugal
Twenty-five years building technology businesses, mostly as a founder.
I co-founded ScreenCloud, ran it as CEO for over a decade and took it through a private equity exit with Tenzing. I'm now a board advisor there, and through McDermott Associates I advise founders and chairs of tech companies on what comes next.
