The original founder beyond borders

"I didn't predict this era. I've been living it before it had a name."

Fifteen years building a global education business from Portugal — long before "remote-first" or "AI-native" were on anyone's slide deck. What was once a decade of trial and error is now a framework founders can compress into months.

Signature Keynote

Founders Beyond Borders: Building in the AI Era

Your audience will leave with

01A clear map of what to delegate to AI vs. keep human.
023 systems they can build in their first 30 days.
03A borderless mindset — geography, language, and time zone as opportunity, not obstacle.
