Co-founder
At the ventures that I am part of, my dedication lies in crafting products that harness their innate creative potential and discover innovative avenues to connect with individuals by tapping into the essence of our shared humanity. And at the end of the day, what we all are, is simply human and that realization serves as the foundation for my work. As Jack Kerouac aptly stated, “Walking on water wasn’t built in a day,” reminding us that meaningful achievements require time and persistence.

I fought with the Greeks and Romans. One day, I decided to rest from those battles and travelled to Lisbon. I entered the art world and realized the importance of details, delicacy and artistic beauty. For me, perfection and defects are parts of the same beauty. Together, they make any piece unique.
I worked for 20 years in design, branding, packaging, marketing, and communication. Today, I do what I love the most at O Benefício, and PWX – Backed by Real Life – architecture and product development in all its aspects.
Co-founder
I have a life filled with accomplishments and failures. I have been fortunate to have experienced and worked in many different markets and industries – tech, health, construction, retail, etc. In all of them I have found that success comes when, as a group, we are able to contribute individually with the best of ourselves and being able to help others achieve their best too.
More than loving what I do, I have the privilege of doing what I love alongside people I chose and that I admire. This is what drives me and guaranties me success.

Co-founder
I was born and raised in the center of Portugal, which gave me a great appreciation for everything that comes from the land and respect for traditional craftmanship that is passed down from generation to generation.
Working almost a decade in hospitality gave me the knowledge and the urge to create new products, combining tradition with innovation.
My love for crafting spirits made me join this amazing project that will give customers a new and safe way to appreciate and be part of the history of whisky.
