      Miguel Figueiredo is a distinguished entrepreneur, strategic marketing expert, and leading voice on digital transformation who empowers C-level executives to navigate the complexities of the modern technological landscape. With a formidable background in building and scaling digital-first enterprises, he provides proprietary insights into how organisations can leverage disruption, optimise consumer engagement, and foster resilient, future-ready business models.

      Widely recognised for his visionary approach to digital marketing and corporate strategy, Miguel’s professional journey is defined by his tenure as the founder and CEO of Excentric, one of Portugal’s most innovative and successful digital agencies.

He advocates for a holistic approach to digital transformation—one that transcends mere software implementation to fundamentally redefine corporate culture, operational agility, and customer value propositions. As an active investor and mentor within the European startup ecosystem, he continuously monitors the frontier of technological innovation, bringing fresh, actionable intelligence to his corporate clients.
