How it works

Simple to start. Serious in execution.

No 40-slide proposal. We start with a conversation and go deep only where it makes sense.

Conversation

30 minutes, no strings attached. You tell me the challenge; I tell you honestly if and how I can help.

Diagnosis

I dive into your operation and deliver a clear map: what’s stuck, what to prioritize and the plan to unblock it.

Hands-on

I execute alongside your team — targets, KPIs and follow-through — until it shows up on the bottom line.

Who’s on the other side

From the factory floor to the boardroom.

Engineer by training, operator by trade. For over 20 years I’ve turned manufacturing, supply chain and strategy into results that show up on the balance sheet — not in slide decks.

I founded Cliever and ran it for 11 years: Brazil’s first SLA 3D printer, exports to 15+ countries, a team of 50+ and CNI recognition among the country’s 22 Innovation Cases. Today I lead operations and global supply chain at Loot Studios.
