João assists CEOs and CFOs in reducing costs, improving results, and strengthening teams without sacrificing quality.
An experienced and innovative leader, I am Senior Partner and Country Manager of ERA Group in Portugal, a global leader in cost optimisation and supplier management consulting. With over three decades of experience, I combine strategic vision with the ability to transform business challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth. Recognised as a credible and solution-oriented specialist, I stand out for promoting efficiency, resilience and elegant leadership, always with solid values and a focus on results. A notable achievement: I have led teams to excellence, even in crisis scenarios, strengthening the competitiveness of clients and ERA's reputation in the national market.
I support business leaders in questioning and optimising all costs, elevating them to the appropriate level, rather than merely the customary one. I enhance cash flow, retain talent, resolve supply chain issues, and recover results, particularly during periods of crisis. I analyse expenses, compare them with market benchmarks, and present written recommendations, retaining suppliers whenever feasible. My remuneration is contingent upon the implementation of savings, financed by the value identified. I impart a culture of stringent cost control and purchasing expertise, consistently achieving average savings exceeding 18%.
