Raphael Neves

I help tech professionals to expand their skills and influence beyond code, fast-track promotions and strategically plan their next career move.

I’m a seasoned engineering leader with over 16 years of experience, a strong technical background, and business acumen. I’ve worked in several industries and companies of all sizes, from pre-seed startups to large enterprises.

My vision is to create engineering teams grounded in integrity, resilience, and excellence. My motto, “We are all product,” sets the tone to foster a culture of diversity, inclusion, and strong collaboration toward a shared goal that delivers lasting customer impact.

My no-BS style is my signature. I don’t shy away from difficult conversations and I perceive respectful conflicts as the sparkle for innovation. I’m opinionated and love being challenged to learn from different perspectives.

Alongside my Director of Engineering job, I’m also a certified career and leadership coach helping tech professionals in their career advancement.
