Summary
Nuno Simaria is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with two decades of experience building products, teams and high-performing engineering organizations. He scaled HelloFresh’s tech organization from 5 to ~500 engineers through an agile transformation, and has since advised and led fast-growth and consumer-facing businesses including TIER, Emma, and multiple startups. Equally comfortable as a hands-on engineer, product manager and designer, he brings a rare blend of technical depth and product sensibility that prioritizes user experience and reliable systems. As founder of Slow Growth and former CTO in residence at Techstars Berlin, he pairs startup pragmatism with enterprise-grade scaling playbooks. Currently based in Berlin and on sabbatical to reflect and upskill, he advises companies navigating hypergrowth and organizational change. A deliberate generalist, he often surfaces organizational levers — not just tech choices — that unlock sustainable scaling.
