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 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!

ENGLISH Now that my son is an adult and I have more time, I decided to embrace an old dream: opening my own business. After searching a lot for a mentor, I found Victor. The search was worth it: your support has been fundamental in understanding the customer better, creating the product and formatting the most appropriate offer for them. And, above all, he's a great guy, easy to deal with and talk to. PORTUGUÊS Agora que meu filho está adulto e eu com mais tempo, resolvi abraçar um antigo sonho: abrir meu próprio negócio. Depois de procurar bastante por um mentor, encontrei o Victor. A busca valeu a pena: seu apoio tem sido fundamental para entender melhor o cliente, criar o produto e formatar a oferta mais adequada para ele. E, além de tudo, é um cara ótimo, fácil de lidar e conversar.

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!!
