I like to learn, live, and see, but I am also more of a doer than just a watcher, which means that oftentimes I put myself out there. I like to live life, to create, to watch things grow, and see my results. I am a happy person. My friends also have told me that I always keep cool in tough situations. I used to play basketball and the last shot was always on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We know you have a variety of different backgrounds \u2013 from HR to sales and now the CEO of Devexperts Portugal. Could you tell us a little bit more about that and more importantly which \u201chat\u201d is truly yours?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned something from a very important person \u2013 Robert Solow, who has an economic Nobel prize. I learned that&nbsp;<strong>what you do does not define you<\/strong>, but enriches you. The fact that you do not have to be stuck to one thing makes you richer as a person. I\u2019ve done many things in life and I\u2019ve enjoyed them all. If you ask me, \u201cAre you a finance guy?\u201d Yes, I am. \u201cAre you an HR guy?\u201d For sure I am. But what I truly am is the amalgamation of all those things. I am a mix of all these experiences and they make me a lot stronger than if I only had experience in one specific area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What drives you when it comes to your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The people I work with<\/strong>. I like learning from people and working with teams that challenge me. I\u2019ve told people that I work with to not be afraid to say something that I may not like. I like people to show me different perspectives and push me in different directions. You need to be challenged because even your thought process gets input from different areas and adapts. That\u2019s how you keep your brain engaged \u2013 it\u2019s like a muscle. If you stop exercising it, it loses power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do we do differently at Devexperts that sets us apart from competitors in the industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things \u2013 firstly, sometimes people underestimate the brainpower and capacity of what they have in-house. At Devexperts, we\u2019ve gotten so used to that because it\u2019s part of our DNA. The majority of people working here feel challenged by an intellectual and work standpoint. That\u2019s a very rare thing to accomplish year after year. Usually, people leave companies because they feel bored. I\u2019m never bored here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, there\u2019s a&nbsp;<strong>culture of excellence with a twist<\/strong>. People still challenge themselves and there\u2019s still a bit of a start-up feel to Devexperts, but not in the hectic kind of way. There\u2019s an authentic feel in the people and in the way they address issues. The company has personality and character. When most companies grow and evolve, they become process-oriented and what I call \u201cgrey corporate\u201d. We\u2019re not like that and I hope we never reach that point. Of course, when you grow, you must have processes and operational standards, but it\u2019s good to feel like you still have that edge and that you\u2019re young at heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2.png 773w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2-382x212.png 382w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_2-578x320.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) calc(100vw - 30px), 870px\" \/><figcaption>Paulo&#8217;s thoughts about Devexperts&#8217; corporate culture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Could you describe Devexperts\u2019 culture in 3 words?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenging&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s never at a standstill. It\u2019s always on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adaptive<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 As a company you have to adapt to reality, clients, changes in technology, and everything else and we manage to do this continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Young at heart.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you think the future holds for the Fintech industry? Will this future be affected by COVID and how?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every sector will be affected to some extent because we are not in economic growth mode currently. COVID-19 accelerated the path of digitalization that most companies were already undertaking, which means that the world and especially financial markets are becoming even more electronic. This will definitely benefit good and strong fintech companies. Some of them probably may not survive, but that means that there will be more market share for the remaining ones. If you can get through this time and ensure the quality of the products, serve clients properly and create solutions that clients need, then you will not only survive but will grow in the coming two to three years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies will adapt and grow and others will not and may disappear. There\u2019s a reason why big banks and finance conglomerates are taking interest in fintech \u2013 because of a buzz word people like to use recently which is \u201cagility\u201d. Agility is very important in moments like these. It\u2019s completely different to steer a fast boat than it is a big freighter. You can see that in a moment like this. It takes a while to turn a freighter because it\u2019s heavy and has a lot of processes. With a speed boat, you simply turn the wheel. And&nbsp;<strong>Devexperts is definitely the speed boat.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your personal productivity hack?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always prepare a schedule for the next week and think about the things that I must complete and the goals that I want to achieve. Another thing that helps me is after a long career, you are able to feel when you\u2019re being productive and can push yourself further or when you are in regular work mode. When I recognize that, I have the possibility to push some of my mundane tasks to less productive days. And on days when I have a lot of energy, I go back to my notes, check out my wildest ideas and say \u201cI am going to explore this today, it may turn into something\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3.png 773w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3-382x212.png 382w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_3-578x320.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) calc(100vw - 30px), 870px\" \/><figcaption>Paulo shares productivity hacks when it comes to his work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would tell my 20-year-old-self to take chances, even the ones I am afraid to take. That\u2019s the right moment to take chances and learn about yourself. You\u2019ll always be learning, but when you are 20 you feel like you still have nothing to lose because you are just starting your career. As you progress in your career you may feel stuck in one place, which is why I like to feel uncomfortable.&nbsp;<strong>Once you start feeling too comfortable, you are no longer pushing yourself.<\/strong>&nbsp;I like to think that anything can happen and that circumstances can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4.png\" alt=\"Interview with Paulo CEO of Devexperts Portugal\" class=\"wp-image-2576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4.png 773w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4-320x177.png 320w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4-382x212.png 382w, https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dxSpotlights_4-578x320.png 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) calc(100vw - 30px), 870px\" \/><figcaption>Paulo talks about stepping out of his comfort zone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What has been the biggest challenge you\u2019ve faced in your career growth thus far?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were two defining moments. The first was early in my career when I was working for a stockbroker. I was working at the dealing table and my boss wanted me to do something that I didn\u2019t agree with and thought that it was unethical for the company to do. He told me that if I didn\u2019t do it, he would take me off the dealing table and I was forced to make a choice. I chose the core thing I believed in and was forced to leave the dealing table, so I started doing financial analysis. The first weeks were tough as I knew I was good at what I was doing and I felt it wasn\u2019t fair, but I never regretted it. That defined me in terms of what I believed in. Sometimes you\u2019re not really sure about what your attitude will be in a certain situation until you\u2019re faced with a difficult choice. When I faced it, it reinforced the person I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second moment was when I was working for a great company for many years and realized that the way things were headed, it would be difficult for me to progress the way I wanted to and the way I needed to develop myself. I wasn\u2019t unhappy or anything, but the time had come to challenge myself more and switch gears, so I decided to leave. Although this decision was difficult both from a professional and personal standpoint, and everybody told me I was mad at the time, I never regretted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the previous edition of dxSpotlight&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/blog\/interview-with-alena-ux-ui-designer-design-dancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cDesign and Dancing.
