I am a Commodore in the Portuguese Navy (Reserve) with 40 years of experience in operational leadership, digital transformation, and the strategic management of information systems. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to command a naval war ship, lead teams in real-world operations, and drive technological projects that profoundly modernized the Navy — from the creation of the Communications Network to the strengthening of cybersecurity, data, and artificial intelligence capabilities.

I have worked in multinational environments (PO NAVY HQ, EUROMARFOR, ALFLOT, CINCNAV, EU, NATO HQ), always with a strong focus on interoperability, information security, and coordination between civilian and military entities. I hold master’s degrees in Computer Science and Strategy, am certified in Project Management, and have recently completed executive training in digital transformation and AI.

Today, in the Reserve, I remain motivated by topics related to technology, strategy, governance, and innovation, seeking to contribute to organizations that value integrated vision, resilience, and results‑oriented leadership.
