STRATEGY CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY OPS INNOVATOR
TESTIMONIALS
"I first met Andre right before the time of the dot-bomb. I was blown away by his design work and his use of Flash technology. I couldn't hire him, but I really wanted to. A few years later when I found myself aimless in Europe, he suggested that I spearhead a project to develop a co-working space outside of Lisbon on an old family farm/vineyard. This was in 2005. It was an amazing concept, but, sadly, ahead of its time. That's how I think of Andre... a visionary. 20 years later, I see he's a leader of global product development teams."
Ezra Cohen, Co-Founder, LucidCircus
"André is first and foremost a great father, dear friend, and rare treasure of a highly talented right-and-left brain human being. It was a great privilege of a lifetime for me to have had the opportunity to work with André as a Co-C-suite executive at Planetwide Games/ Media and MashON. André delivered on every one of his promises, commitments and then some, while working around the clock with his creative and technology development teams in California and Europe in the creation or world-class end products for video gaming legendary developer and our project partner Will Wright on Spore and other leading gaming companies and titles. André is one cool cat under pressure and shines brightly inspiring all others around him in an organization. Muito Obrigado my dear friend for your tireless efforts and dedication to our teams!!"

"Andre is both a fantastic innovator & a truly collaborative technical mind. On a past large scale project, he provided technical/dev input for creative options, and was always *extremely* helpful.
On a separate note, his work in industrial design and its implications for housing are inspiring-- and have so much to offer the world. The world has so many challenges and his current work offers a real balm and benefit, addressing major global challenges in housing."
