From Hyper-Growth Startups to Fractional Leader, with Hugo Pereira

I met Hugo when he became President of AIESEC International. To me he was this distant, inspiring figure at first, the person everyone in the room was watching. Years later we both ended up in Amsterdam and he became a friend whose career choices I kept learning from.Hugo calls himself a growth catalyst. Today he wears 3 hats: a fractional growth and marketing leader for deep-tech and scale-ups, a builder, and a father who decided presence was non-negotiable. He scaled EVBox from 10 to 700 people and past 100 million in revenue. He failed at two startups before that. And last year, in the same 12 months he had his second daughter, he exited his own startup and wrote a book.
