Who This Is For

YOU'RE IN THE
RIGHT PLACE IF…

Your data isn't driving decisions

You're collecting data but not acting on it. You need someone who builds the analytics layer and translates it into a strategy your team will actually use.

You want AI but don't know where to start

You want actual tools — chatbots, automations, intelligence systems — not another slide deck about AI potential. Someone who has built and shipped them, not just recommended them.

You need a straight-talking business partner

You want someone who has been in the room — scaled a team, raised capital, made the costly mistakes — and won't just tell you what you want to hear.

You want to expand into Thailand

Company registration, banking, hiring locals, finding suppliers, understanding how deals actually get done here. Four years running businesses in Thailand means I've made the expensive mistakes so you don't have to.

You want to perform at a higher level

You're successful but not at your ceiling. You want the discipline, systems, and accountability to close that gap — in business and in life.

You want a thinking partner with global range

Six countries, four continents, 60+ nations. A global lens shapes how I approach every problem.

DOER.
NOT
TALKER.

I've spent 8+ years turning data into decisions that matter — working across gaming, travel, FMCG and financial services, from London consulting rooms to C-suite strategy sessions in Bangkok. The kind of work where the numbers have to be right because real things depend on them.

Alongside that, I've built businesses. KROSS Padel is Thailand's #1 padel brand — 4 venues, 20+ people, taken from concept to category leader. Peaceful Paws spotted a gap nobody had filled and turned it into a business. And over the last year I've gone deep into AI — building AI tools — chatbots, workflow automations, competitor intelligence systems, SEO pipelines. Not experimenting. Deploying.

Work and body are connected for me. I set myself challenges outside of work that demand the same discipline I bring to everything else — a 70.3 Ironman, Olympic triathlons, competitive padel. A healthy body drives a focused mind. No excuses in training means no excuses in business. That consistency is what I bring to every engagement.

What People Say

RESULTS PEOPLE
TALK ABOUT.

↑ Data strategy overhauled

He went from “here's what we need” to a working product faster than anyone had managed. And he stayed involved until it was actually running properly.

— Miguel V., Founder

↑ Business launched in Thailand

Saved us months of confusion. Roberto knew exactly who to speak to, what to avoid, and how to get things moving. Worth every dollar.

What I Do

ONE THREAD.
MANY FRONTS.

Same approach regardless of the problem: understand the real situation, cut through the noise, execute. No 90-slide decks that gather dust.

01

Data Analytics & Strategy MOST REQUESTED

8+ years across travel, gaming, FMCG, logistics and financial services. ML models, A/B testing at scale, KPI frameworks and dashboards that senior leaders actually used to make decisions.

02

AI Implementation

Chatbots, SEO automation engines, competitor intelligence dashboards, workflow pipelines — built and deployed. I find where AI creates genuine leverage in your business and ship it. Not a slide deck. A working product.

03

Business Strategy & Coaching

From zero-to-one to scaling across markets. Hiring strategy, capital conversations, go-to-market, operational structure — navigated as an operator, not a consultant. Skip the lessons I already paid for.

04

Expanding Into Thailand

Company structure, banking, finding the right local team. Four years navigating Thai business will save you months of confusion and expensive guesswork.

05

Peak Performance

I train before sunrise, build companies, and race Half Ironmans. The systems, habits, and mindset — built and tested on myself first.

06

Thinking Partner

A thinking partner who challenges your assumptions, spots what you're missing, and holds you to your word. I don't tell you what you want to hear.

Common Questions

BEFORE YOU
REACH OUT.

Who do you typically work with?+
Founders, operators, senior professionals, and ambitious individuals who want to move faster. Some need data infrastructure. Some want AI tools built. Some want accountability and a thinking partner who will challenge them. What they share: they’re serious about results, not just ideas.
What is the Strategy Sprint?+
A focused 2-week engagement with a defined output — a data audit, an AI opportunity assessment, or a business diagnostic. Two structured sessions, async support throughout, and a written action plan at the end. It’s the fastest way to get real clarity on a specific challenge, and it naturally leads into ongoing work if there’s a fit.
What kind of AI work do you actually do?+
Recent projects include a customer service chatbot with purchase-intent detection and human handoff, SEO article automation pipelines, competitor intelligence dashboards, and a triathlon coaching app. I don’t consult on AI strategy from the outside — I build the tools myself and hand them over working.
Do you work remotely or Bangkok only?+
Mostly remote — video sessions work fine across timezones. I work with clients in Europe, the US, Mexico, and Southeast Asia. For Thailand-specific projects, being on the ground here is an advantage, but it’s not a requirement for you.
What does the free 30-min call involve?+
A real conversation, not a sales pitch. You tell me what you’re working on, I ask the right questions. We’ll both know by the end whether there’s a fit. If I’m not the right person, I’ll say so and try to point you somewhere useful.
Can you help across multiple areas at once?+
Yes — most clients do. Data strategy and business coaching overlap naturally. Performance habits affect work output. AI tools plug into business operations. The monthly advisory is designed for exactly this — one relationship across all the areas that matter.
What currency do you work in?+
All engagements are priced in USD and can be converted to your local currency — THB, EUR, GBP, MXN, or other. Just mention it when you reach out.
