I'm Pedro — a design executive who builds organisations that raise the standard of the work, the product, and the company around them, and who still reviews and shapes the work at the pixel level. Across nearly two decades, I've shaped products, teams and culture at Checkout.com, Personio, Elsevier and The Stepstone Group, where I now lead a 45+ person design and research organisation.

WORK WITH ME
WildFlow
Senior thinking. Hands-on execution.
You work directly with me, from defining the problem and setting the direction to designing the experience and getting it ready to ship.
Advisory
Senior judgement for consequential decisions.
I work with founders and leaders to sharpen product direction, raise the standard of execution and strengthen the organisation behind it.
If the work matters, let's talk.
