William Rufino is a partner and serial founder with 15 years of experience building web systems, digital marketing products, and growth-focused startups from Minas Gerais, Brazil. He combines a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Information Systems and Knowledge Management with hands-on experience in SEM/SEO, full‑stack web development (Python/Django, PHP, JS), and bank-grade systems from an early internship at Banco Mercantil do Brasil. He has founded and led multiple ventures—TextBox, Damascus Steel Digital Business, Convertpack and others—shipping SaaS tooling for content and marketing teams and driving customer growth as a CMO. Comfortable in agile environments, he moves between product, data-driven growth, and engineering, often building the tools teams need to scale without heavy dev dependence. He has taught SEM/SEO at the MBA level and contributed to academic research in Semantic Web and Social Network Analysis, reflecting a bridge between theory and practice. Pragmatic and entrepreneurial, he frequently turns marketing problems into technical products that automate manual workflows and improve conversion.
