Summary

Profile:

A proactive, resourceful and enthusiastic individual with several years of International experience with

extensive expertise in the ever changing Mobile Industry, media and communication tools.

With boldness and vision I easily initiate new ideas and implement innovative approaches through strategic

direction.

I'm great at multitasking, but with the ability to focus and prioritize tasks that will be most influential in

bringing me closer to the desired goals.

Being curious, I have a genuine interest in technology and communication and try to be on the bleeding edge of

1 person has recommended Pedro

"Pedro was a very important part of our team at Ogilvy, been very close to the creative team, his input was

always relevant, since he already was an 'everything digital' enthusiast. He is a person who I would like to

work again if you asked me. Pedro is down-to-earth, practical, cheerful, with that 'can do' attitude, but at the

same time we should never expect to work on 'safe floor', afterall it was allways about inovation."

Gualter Amaro, designer, ogilvy & mather, reported to Pedro at Ogilvy & Mather
