Top SchoolMárcio Azevedo is a seasoned technology leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling engineering organisations across fast-growing e-commerce businesses. He has led technology and product-aligned engineering teams at NA-KD and Farfetch, delivering measurable business impact such as a $30M uplift in GMV, 20% higher revenue per user from A/B testing, and major cost savings through platform migrations.

He mentors engineering leaders, scales teams rapidly (tripling squads at Farfetch), and translates complex technical decisions into clear business outcomes. Based in Porto, he brings a pragmatic mix of technical depth (platform modernisation, .NET Core/Linux migrations) and commercial focus that consistently optimises cost, performance and customer experience. An operator comfortable in both C-suite strategy and developer trenches, he’s known for turning engineering practices into quantifiable growth levers.
