About Pedro
Independent strategy and transformation advisor with ~9 years at Bain & Company, most recently as a Senior Manager. I have partnered with CEOs, executive teams, and private equity investors to drive growth, large-scale transformations, and value creation across the globe (mainly in EMEA).
My experience is anchored in Financial Services with a focus on strategy-to-execution, leading multi-year transformation programs, commercial and cost excellence initiatives, operating model and organization design, international expansion, and PMO-led delivery in complex, regulated environments. I also bring strong Private Equity experience, having led 10+ commercial due diligences, value creation plans, and PMI support across multiple sectors.
I combine top-tier strategic rigor with hands-on execution, working closely with leadership teams to deliver measurable results at pace. I now work as an independent consultant, supporting CEOs and investors on strategy, transformation, and performance improvement mandates.
