About

💬 Want to grow your startup, raise funds, and scale with confidence?
💬 Building a product but stuck between ideas, execution, and growth?
💬 Need expert mentorship to navigate real-world startup challenges?

I help entrepreneurs, product managers, and developers turn ideas into products, and products into businesses.

👉 Let’s work together to unlock your startup’s potential.

What I bring to the table:

- 🏗 Entrepreneurship: From idea to scale-up, I’ve guided startups through all growth stages—including turning around mature businesses.
- 💰 Fundraising: Hands-on experience raising capital from Angel Investors and VCs.
- 🧠 Product Management: Expertise in validating ideas, building MVPs, and leading successful product launches.
- 📱 Technology: Deep understanding of software development, AI, and ML-powered solutions.
- 🧗‍♀️ Leadership: I help founders and managers grow as leaders, navigate tough decisions, and build high-performing teams.

With 20+ years in entrepreneurship, I’ve built, led, and transformed startups across fintech, edtech and mobility. I founded Eskolare, an education fintech helping 1 million+ families, over 3,000 schools, hundreds of suppliers achieve financial efficiency.

I was also an investor and key executive at Gringo, Brazil’s #1 platform for drivers, with 20+ million users nationwide, where I led M&A, Product, and served as General Manager for two Business Units. In 2025, Gringo was acquired by Corpay (US-based company) for US$180 million, marking a milestone in its trajectory.

For the past 9 years, I’ve been an active member of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)—a global network of 18,000+ entrepreneurs across 76 countries, dedicated to fostering growth, learning, and leadership. Through EO, I actively share insights, mentor peers, and engage in high-level exchanges with founders scaling impactful businesses worldwide.

Victor é um mentor excelente, busquei a mentoria com ele para me ajudar a estruturar um projeto pessoal meu. Desde o início, ele foi super acessível, atencioso e verdadeiramente interessado em contribuir. Durante o mês de acompanhamento, o Victor compartilhou referências e trouxe insights estratégicos com base em sua experiência no mercado B2C, sempre fezendo perguntas que me ajudaram a pensar com mais clareza sobre o produto, modelo de negócio e go-to-market. Victor rapidamente entende o contexto, o que torna cada sessão proveitosa. O impacto da mentoria foi claro, consegui validar direcionamentos estratégicos e sair com um plano mais estruturado para os próximos passos. Recomendo demais a mentoria com o Victor para quem está tirando um projeto do papel e precisa de um mentor experiente e prático. Pretendo voltar com mais sessões!!

I've been working with Victor for a year and a half, and the experience has been fantastic. He's incredibly helpful and has a great ability to keep you focused on the right things, which is critical at the startup stage. With so many possible directions, focusing on what truly matters can be the difference between success and failure. Victor’s expertise spans multiple areas—product, growth, engineering, business operations, and more—so he can provide guidance no matter what you need help with. He also helps set up the right processes and ensures you're tracking the right metrics to stay on track. Highly recommend!
