À propos de Luis
Need a seasoned Project Manager who can hit the ground running on complex IT and digital transformation programmes? I bring 14+ years of hands-on experience delivering high-stakes projects for the European Parliament, the European Commission, and fast-growing tech companies.
What I deliver:
I specialise in steering large-scale programmes from inception to delivery — whether that means standing up a PMO, driving Agile transformations across multiple teams, or managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical IT systems. My clients trust me to bring structure to ambiguity, align stakeholders, and keep delivery on track.
My track record includes:
- Leading the AI@EC Programme at the European Commission (DG DIGIT), defining the programme charter and coordinating 11 operational actions
- Managing a portfolio of 5+ legislative IT systems at the European Parliament
- Delivering enterprise-grade platforms (HRMIS, audit management, cybersecurity) using microservices, cloud-native architectures, and Big Data technologies
- Scaling Agile practices (Scrum, SAFe) across teams of 20+ people in multicultural environments
I hold PMP, CSM, CSPO, and SAFe Agilist certifications, complemented by an MIT executive course on AI for Business Strategy. I am fluent in English and Portuguese, with strong working proficiency in French and Spanish — ideal for international and EU-based projects.
Whether you need a Programme Manager to structure and govern a complex initiative, or a hands-on Project Manager to drive delivery sprints, I adapt my approach to what your project needs.
