Alexandre
Viola

I practiced law for over ten years before founding two pioneering Brazilian legaltechs: Arbitranet, the country's first online arbitration chamber, and Justto, which automated settlement negotiation.

As founder and CEO, I designed the products, raised capital, built the teams and won awards in Brazil and abroad, up to the sale of Justto to Softplan in 2022.

I was then global COO at Skedway and CRO at Preâmbulo Tech. Today I help people and companies focus on the work that creates value, and I build products with AI as my cofounder.

What drives me is shortening the path for people who build.

01 · Skills

Where I can help.

  • Business strategy

    One joined-up view of market, product, incentives and behavior.

  • Product thinking

    From what the user wants to the solution, the priority and the delivery.

  • Deciding under pressure

    I have started, scaled, shut down and restarted companies with money and reputation on the line.

  • Leadership

    Hiring, developing and guiding high-performance teams.

  • Learning fast

    What I learn turns into code, product or positioning quickly.

  • Operations with people + AI

    Product, engineering, growth and operations run by people and AI together.

02 · Offers

How we can work together.

RoutinesRollout · 30 days

Operations on autopilot

For businesses that want to automate and gain efficiency.

I map the operation, get the first AI routines running (support, content, finance or engineering), and the team only decides what matters.

ManagementRollout · 6 weeks

Management system

For founders and managers who want a team that decides, executes and follows up without depending on meetings.

Together we set the rhythm: objectives and key results tracked every day, routines that exist to move each one, a weekly review with bets that have an owner and, for every piece of work, who decides, who executes and who checks, including when part of the team is an agent.

AdvisoryAdvisor · monthly

Strategic advisory

For founders and CEOs between the first product and scale.

Regular sessions and direct access to decide product, first customers, the number that matters at each stage, fundraising and exit. Per project, no lock-in.

MentoringSingle session · 60 min

1:1 mentoring

For builders who need to unblock a decision or an operation that got stuck.

MVP, business model, pitch, sales or operations with AI. The conversation ends with a clear next step.

03 · Speaking
