Nuno’s lighthouse, borrowed and adapted from John Maxwell:
– “Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn.”

Discover market opportunities, frame and solve problems, build an organization and its business, and delight customers are hard. But even harder is the journey to unlock your inner self.

Your perceptions and internal belief system shape the reality you sense, keeping you alive but blind most of the time. Very often, you must unlearn what you have learned at school and from your past experiences. In life, to create your own value and uncover your mantra, you must reinterpret yourself and build your own learning path.

Nuno’s self-discovery journey throughout the years connects Agile, Systems and Lean thinking, Kaizen philosophy, Complex Adaptive Systems, and the invisible power of Scrum.

With almost 20 years’ experience playing and learning with different people, teams, and business challenges, Nuno currently works as an independent Lean-Agile Organizational Coach guiding People to achieve their full potential, Teams to perform better, and Organizations to thrive on change.

Nuno is the Creator of Serious Learning, a set of Active Learning methods and games to develop People, Teams, and Organizations at scale (https://medium.com/seriouslearning).

Nuno is also the Founder of Agile Connect®, a learning platform that encourages and supports the widespread adoption of effective Lean & Agile thinking and practices (https://www.agileconnect.org).

Some highlights from the past:
– Founded Iosae in 2004, a Professional Services startup. Left in 2010. Returned in 2016.
– Joined Farfetch in 2010, back then a small e-commerce fashion startup with only 4 developers and less than 30 people. Left in 2016.
– Founded Bitmind in 2003, an Industrial Engineering startup. Left in 2005.
