The Human Behind the Systems

I’m Raf — a strategist, systems architect, and lifelong optimizer. I spend my time building agentic business models, advising founders, and exploring how humans and AI can co-create in more powerful ways. With over 20 years in strategy, analytics, and financial leadership, I now focus on designing AI-native infrastructures that free people to do their most meaningful work.

TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Expert Systems Thinker

My background blends engineering, analytics, and executive leadership. I’ve led FP&A and Strategy teams across industries, from cannabis to retail to finance; and hold degrees from PUC-Rio (Engineering) and McGill (MBA). But the turning point came when I realized that the next wave of leverage wouldn’t come from bigger teams — it would come from better systems.

I see complexity as something to deconstruct, optimize, and reimagine. Whether it’s a business model or an automation stack, I instinctively break things down into their core components and rebuild them into scalable, adaptive systems. That’s been the throughline of my work; building models and systems to automate processes and grow businesses.

PASSIONATE ABOUT IDEAS
Entrepreneur at heart

What fuels me is ideas, especially the kind that challenge the status quo. I’ve always been drawn to innovation, not for its buzz but for its power to unlock what was previously out of reach.

Today, we’re living in a golden age for entrepreneurs: with AI, you no longer need massive funding or sprawling teams to bring a world-class idea to life. Anyone with a vision and the right tools can build something transformative. Where bold thinking meets smart execution.
