A FOCUSED, ENERGETIC AND PASSIONATE LEADER

An excellent communicator, Rodrigo is a dynamic, entrepreneurial and results-driven professional, with a proven track record of first-class strategic business management. His long and exceptional career started in 2002, as a Structural Engineer at Armando Rito Engenharia, developing conceptual design and calculation of iconic road bridges.

In 2006, Rodrigo joined the Portuguese Group Novopca, where he managed large civil & industrial construction contracts (>500Million EUR), led teams with 100+ workers and made sure projects were delivered on-time, with excellent quality and maximized profitability. In 2012 Rodrigo moved to Angola to be an Executive Director for the international contractor MCA Group, planning investments, capturing new business and managing P&L for ROI maximization of his Business Unit.

In 2014 Rodrigo made a very important shift in his career and joined the Hilti Corporate Headquarters in Liechtenstein. In the Marketing team of Business Unit Anchors, he managed the global business strategy for several lines of fastening systems, introducing new products, software and services and achieving sustainable profit growth of his portfolio beyond expectations. This opened the path to his promotion in 2018 as head of the Application Marketing Segment, where he led a team of business experts in achieving worldwide market leadership in key customer applications.

Rodrigo came back to Portugal in early 2020 to join Farfetch as Senior Head of Partner Success, and now leads a team of 50 members responsible for the operational excellence of more than 1000 luxury e-commerce sellers across the whole world, which generated over 3 Billion USD in gross merchandise value in 2020. Rodrigo is also a family man who loves to travel and has a soft spot for sci-fi films that make him travel through time or see into the future.
