Named 'One of the Seven Young People Who Are Transforming the World' by PANGEA (Spain) in 2016, and the following year, the National Youth Council recognized him as 'One of the Twelve Young Leaders of Portugal.'

Currently, he is a faculty member at ISCTE-Executive Education, where he also coordinates the Empowerment postgraduate program. He is one of the most sought-after executive trainers and speakers in Portugal, having lectured to over 150,000 people across nine countries. He holds a Master's degree in Management from ISCTE-IUL, with a specialization in behavioral areas, motivation, strategy, entrepreneurship, and public speaking.

Born in Angra do Heroísmo, he demonstrated his entrepreneurial spirit early on, starting a door-to-door flower selling business at the age of six. At 24, he embarked on a solo expedition around the world to meet entrepreneurs, an experience he chronicled in his first book, the best-seller Faz Acontecer (2015). He is the author and co-author of several works published in Portugal and Spain, and wrote and hosted the television series Faz Acontecer (Canal Q).

He is the founder of several companies, including Faz Acontecer, Mid-Atlantic Hostel, and Volcanic Hostel. Throughout his career, he has raised thousands of euros for social causes and helped hundreds of people pursue and achieve their goals and projects. The connections he has made with over 500 successful individuals worldwide allow him to draw valuable lessons, which he frequently shares in his lectures and training sessions.
