As CEO of OLX Portugal, I led the team to grow revenue beyond 10 million and achieve profitability while expanding our user base and optimizing marketing investments. We accomplished this by leveraging synergies and implementing cross-pricing strategies among classified brands like Standvirtual, Imovirtual, and OLX. Additionally, we integrated B2B platforms to support our business partners and developed e-commerce platforms such as Leiloes.net and Coisas.
