Background

About Sergio Rodrigues

I am an Electric Engineer. Actually I think I was born Engineer…I am an Inventor and Entrepreneur who has been, for most of my life, developing new products, finding new ways of using cutting edge technology to achieve the simplest goals.I’ve started working during University, and by 1996, my first real job was developing electronics on a huge hardware company. By I was CTO – Chief Technology Officer – of a leading hospitality software company.In 2006 I’ve started my first company and by now I’ve co-founded and sold a number of software technology companies. Like many serial entrepreneurs, I have many things going on at once (Damien Stolarz dixit ). Throughout my professional life, I've lived and worked in Madrid, London, Hong Kong and Singapore.I’ve worked and launched projects using different technologies, including security systems, data acquisition devices, power efficiency systems, touchscreen based software, Saas management software, online sales reporting, amongst others. Although normally hands-on technology I’m always looking for bridging between the raw technology and the end-user. I was Co-Founder of several companies operating either in Software development as in Embedded Electronics product development. Some of the references/acquirers are SAGE, Toshiba, Las Vegas Sands, MasterGuardian, etcAt this moment, after leaving Sage, as Head of Product Development, I'm managing partner of an Investment Fund and Board Member of Investors Protugal. I need to be in touch with new born creativity and so, I keep mentoring a few technology startups in Portugal. I've found that startups, like the ones I've created in the past, would actually benefit from my experience, both technical and business wise but also, would put a wide networking at service of these new companies.Specialties:Technology managementIT related Business DevelopmentSoftware Development and ArchitectEmbedded electronicsProcess oriented managementVenture capital Funding
