Services
Where we can help
Strategy & executive advisory
Assess the opportunity, compare growth options and define investment priorities. We help leaders turn decisions into a roadmap with owners, milestones and measures.
International expansion
Assess markets and entry models, then coordinate local specialists in areas such as company formation, accounting, import requirements and logistics.
Business development & distribution
Identify and qualify buyers, importers and distributors. Prepare commercial materials, support partner meetings and follow negotiations through the next decision.
E-commerce & marketplaces
Launch and manage digital channels in Brazil. We can support catalog setup, campaigns, customer service and performance reviews across channels such as Mercado Livre, Shopee and TikTok Shop.
Product, marketing & innovation
Refine the portfolio and value proposition, validate customer demand and shape the launch plan around the channels and audiences most likely to buy.
Funding readiness & partnerships
Clarify funding needs, prepare the business case and support conversations with potential financing and strategic partners.
Example engagement
A route into the U.S. market
For a Brazilian consumer brand, an engagement can begin by selecting a pilot portfolio and comparing U.S. operating locations. In parallel, we can qualify B2B distributors in the U.S. and Mexico and test a marketplace launch in Brazil.
The pilot gives leadership a basis for the next investment decision, with landed costs, partner feedback and early channel performance.
Our approach
How we work together
Diagnose
Review the business, constraints and available data. Agree on the opportunity to pursue and establish a baseline.
Plan
Define priorities, resources, decision owners and milestones. Choose a pilot that can test the main assumptions.
Execute & review
Run the agreed work alongside your team. Review results regularly and use them to adjust the plan or decide whether to scale.
Engagements can take the form of ongoing executive advisory, a defined project or hands-on commercial management.
