Victor has been an important foundation to the success and evolution I've had as a first-time founder and CTO, a dynamic I was unfamiliar with back then. Our experiences relate a lot, as Victor also started in leadership/responsibility positions since a very young age. It's almost like seeing an "older me" in front of my screen. Since the two years we've been working together, we touched on a variety of different subjects, from leadership to technical, from networking to personal improvement. Victor's approach to mentorship is interesting, in the sense that he tries to relate everything to his personal experience (even the craziest things I come up with), which makes the entire experience easier to digest and actionable. Also, as my company evolves in terms of new hires, fundraises and logistical/technical challenges, Victor is always able to help. Overall, I'm very pleased with the experience and I can't recommend Victor enough. Doesn't matter where you are at in your journey, I'm 100% confident that Victor will be able to provide the insights that you need to avoid making costly mistakes and 100x your company's chances to succeed.

Victor has been a phenomenal mentor and friend during this journey and I couldn't be more grateful for his contribution into making me a better leader and engineer. The fact that my journey is similar to Victor's in several ways makes the whole experience so relatable. If you're considering Victor to mentor you and make you a better leader, you're definitely in good hands!

It was through Victor that I had one of the first contacts with the product area, and I can say that, as a mentor, he really brought his experience so that I could apply it in practice in my business. At each meeting, Victor addressed extremely relevant points, which aroused greater awareness, increased my knowledge and helped me to adjust my focus (fundamental for any professional). Victor has always been willing to answer any and all questions, share very important content and articles for the startup universe and, above all, show ways that would save us time and maximize our results. In addition to recommending him as a mentor, I also want to thank him personally and professionally, who helped us evolve in one of the most important phases of our company.
