São Paulo, Brazil
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Simões is a product-driven technology leader and founder with 15 years of experience building startups and scaling product teams from early MVPs to solutions used by millions. As CIO & Founder of Mecanizou and former Head of Product & Engineering at Quero Educação, he blends hands-on engineering roots with strategic product discovery, OKR-driven roadmaps, and data-led experimentation. He excels at turning hypotheses into measurable outcomes through A/B testing, pricing experimentation, and iterative MVPs while designing product narratives that align teams around impact. A serial entrepreneur and ex-developer, he’s comfortable coaching squads, defining technical trade-offs, and moving quickly without losing rigor. Based in São Paulo, he pairs an MBA in strategic business management with a practical bias to “fail fast” and learn, and he’s known for treating problems, not solutions, as the true north of innovation.
