About Joao

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and Project Manager with over 10 years of experience in the injection mold industry for the automotive sector. I help clients take their mold projects from beginning to final delivery, keeping timelines on track, controlling budget, and making sure the product gets approved without surprises along the way.
Day to day, I coordinate technical, production, and planning teams, oversee testing and mold optimization, and stay in direct contact with clients throughout the process — including on-site when needed. I've managed a range of projects, from standard tooling to more complex, technically demanding molds.
