What I do
Over four decades I led one of Portugal’s largest service groups through every IT transition that mattered — Y2K, the Euro, full ERP renewal, the shift to SAP, a brownfield migration to S/4HANA, and the first wave of enterprise AI.
Now I bring that pattern recognition to other organisations facing the same kind of bets. As an independent advisor — not a licence reseller, not an implementation firm — I help boards, CFOs, CIOs and CISOs navigate decisions where getting it wrong costs eight figures and getting it right separates leaders from followers.
Four practice areas
Where I add value — all grounded in forty years of executive experience.
SAP & ERP Strategy
S/4HANA migration decisions, programme governance, critical reading of RISE with SAP proposals.
CRM & Integration
Platform selection and replacement, integration architecture that avoids the silent debt that erodes value.
Cybersecurity & Governance
CISO advisory, ISO/IEC 27001 certification paths, GRC programmes with audit-grade discipline.
IT Strategy & Innovation
Planning that survives more than one budget cycle. Where AI earns its place — and where it doesn’t.
Insights
Regular perspectives on the decisions that shape IT at executive level.
Well-grounded perspectives, free of noise, drawn from four decades in demanding enterprise environments — from CIO and CISO roles to transformation projects at group scale. Not occasional commentary: a space designed for those who must decide with reliable information.

If you’re considering an engagement — or just want senior judgement on a specific decision — the first step is a conversation about your context.
