Bio
Founder and director of ‘Canal 180’, a Cannes award-winning television channel centred on culture and creativity, aimed at younger audiences and the world's creators.
He has a degree in Economics and has devoted most of his professional experience to marketing and communications. He started out in the telecoms industry as a product developer at Sonae - Optimus Telecom. Six years later he moved to the advertising agency ‘BBDO’ to specialise in brand development and marketing strategy in multiple sectors.
In 2010 he won first place in the Serralves/Unicer Creative Industries Entrepreneurship Award with the Open Source Television (OSTV) project, an original collaborative approach to developing a television channel in the increasingly fragmented digital landscape.
