João helps CEOs and CFOs reduce costs, improve results and strengthen 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 optimizing all costs, raising them to the appropriate level, never to the usual one. I improve cash flow, retain talent, solve supply chain problems and recover results, especially in times of crisis. I analyze expenses, compare them with market benchmarks and present written recommendations, retaining suppliers whenever possible. I am only remunerated if I implement savings, financed by the value found. I convey a culture of cost control and know-how in Purchasing, with average savings of over 18%.
