Mateus shares a career built on taking risks, filling gaps, and moving to new cities and countries with nothing but a willingness to figure it out. From managing a marketing team across seven countries to working as an individual contributor in channel, he talks about why flexibility and accountability are the hardest skills to develop and the most important ones to have.
Key takeaways:
- Why channel is closer to strategic marketing than it is to sales
- What it actually means to do the work for your partners, not for yourself
- How moving countries with no network taught Mateus more than any role could
- Why seeing your team grow is more fulfilling than growing yourself
- What is next for Tempo: AI work tracking and predictive outcomes
If you work in partnerships, channel, or are early in your career trying to figure out your direction, Mateus’ story is a reminder that the path rarely looks like you planned it.
