Rodrigo Krug · Head of Operations
I run operations and global supply chain at Loot Studios — production and distribution across 60+ countries. Before that, I founded Cliever and spent 11 years scaling Brazil's first SLA 3D printer. Embraer, Natura, Globo and Renault have crossed my desk too — the rest is right below.
Belo Horizonte, Brazil · Working globally
20+
years in operations
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+, over R$5M raised in venture capital, and CNI recognition among the country's 22 Innovation Cases.
Today I lead operations and global supply chain at Loot Studios — 5 distribution hubs, customers in 60+ countries, crowdfunding campaigns north of US$700k. In parallel, I advise tech companies through R. Krug Consultoria and build my own products, like MyMiniCase and Theo.

The problems I've spent 20 years solving — now at your company.
I build tailor-made production planning (PCP) systems and reengineer manufacturing processes to scale efficiently and cut costs.
I design supply chains with international suppliers and curate strategic partners in Brazil and abroad.
From concept to production at scale: product development, PCB and electronic circuit design.
I implement Lean, 5S, integrated KPIs and root-cause analysis to unlock the operation's critical bottlenecks.
Consulting, a project or an executive role: give me the context and I'll tell you, straight, whether and how I can help.
