About Pedro Me, Myself & I - De La Soul
About me
I love working on wicked problems that have an interdisciplinary nature. My approach consists of asking a lot of questions and bringing weird, non-conventional suggestions alongside market best practices.
Most of my career was at early-stage startups, but I've also worked and advised multiple F500 on business, branding, AI implementation and design.
How I work
I love collaborating on projects that don’t fit neatly into disciplinary lines. My approach consists of asking a lot of questions and bringing weird, non-conventional suggestions alongside best practices.
See the big picture
I'm naturally attracted to open-ended, high-level questions. Both "What game should we play" and "how do we win" are questions that interest me. I've become pretty good at zooming in into operational processes and details too, but my instincts always start from macro question.
Always ask a lot of questions
A good question is worth its weight in gold, and 10x more useful than the best recommendation. By asking a lot of questions we can arrive at a more useful end state together by digging deeper into the problem.
Challenge everything
I never take anything for granted. This means that I will challenge every assumption at the cost of sounding inquisitive or just plain dumb ("Why is he asking something this obvious?").
Playing the fool is not something that I'm scared of - in fact, I embrace it!
Humans always come first
Good business results come from: (1) factors involved in effective operations, (2) forces influencing the market, and (3) those driving business finance and economic climates. But it all starts with understanding humans and their problems on a personal level.
Areas that I’m interested in
I'm interested in complex problems of all sorts, but I'm particularly interested in the areas listed below.
Generative AI
AI is a force multiplier, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in SaaS.

What's the purpose of learning in a world with LLM, what topics are worth pursuing and what's the optimal way to learn

Anything related to genuine connection building over the internet.
Information management
How do you store information and make it more easily findable and comprehensible.
