“Tive a sorte de fazer parte do grupo liderado pelo Luís aquando da implementação do modelo de Design Thinking que é, sem duvida, um modelo atual, adequado e acima de tudo implementável / realizável. Definitivamente não é apenas mais um modelo teórico. O Luís, com o seu know how, foi um facilitador e “professor” excepcional, conseguindo a participação de toda a organização no desenvolvimento e implementação da metodologia. Recomendo a todas as organizações que estejam com dúvidas no que diz respeito a (Re)Definição Estratégica.

“Luis is one of the shining stars of Portuguese marketing, one of a small group of people who have made a big impact on the world. I feel privileged to know Luis and to have had the opportunity to interact with him, and follow his trajectory over the years. Luis is always several steps ahead: his drive and his intellect are uncommon in a world of mediocre thinking.Luis is one of the shining stars of Portuguese marketing, one of a small group of people who have made a big impact on the world.

“I've met Luis during my Executive MBA program at AESE Business School because he gave us a marketing session entitled Competitive Intelligence. More recently he was also my mentor during the Lisbon Startup Pirates, an accelerator for startups. He is an excellent communicator, very pragmatic in the analysis of complex problems, and also, he is very sharp and quite generous with his time. He demonstrates a great mastery and business acumen due to his professional background. His assistance during Startup Pirates was a very important contribution for us, as we ended 2nd place in the final pitch of business ideas in front of a panel of national and international corporate investors.I've met Luis during my Executive MBA program at AESE Business School because he gave us a marketing session entitled Competitive Intelligence.
