João Oliveira
Private Advisor. Board Counsel. Business Scale.
João Oliveira has spent twenty-five years running companies and navigating complex decisions at executive level — as Managing Director of an LSE-listed company, COO of a global technology group, MD of payment and fintech businesses across France, Portugal, Spain and South America, and Senior Advisor to some of Europe's leading private equity firms.
That experience spans P&L ownership, capital allocation, M&A, governance crises, leadership transitions, cross-border expansion and shareholder conflict.
His practice is organised in three areas: strategic counsel for leaders, board advisory, and Business Scale for founders.
He works in Portuguese, French, English and Spanish. He is based between Lisbon, Paris and Geneva, and works across Europe, the UK and francophone markets.
Engagements are private, direct and limited in number. There are no intermediaries, no junior teams and no generic frameworks.
His advisory sits alongside a wider ecosystem — JOlivier & Partners for executive and board search, GestInvest for the execution of transactions and capital, and EBA as a business and institutional platform. João advises the decision-maker; these structures execute.
A single private conversation is how every engagement begins.
Every message is treated in strict confidence.
