Miguel Santos The Executive MBA
INNOVATIVE BUSINESS LEADER AND GROWTH STRATEGIST
Miguel is an accomplished business leader with a strategic mindset and a unique ability to guide organizations towards sustainable growth. With a strong background in consulting and a dedication to innovation, he plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration, promoting team excellence, and delivering tangible results. His project management skills, combined with a customer-oriented approach, set him apart as a dedicated and adept leader.
His journey began with a fascination for science, which led him to pursue a degree in chemistry. However, as he delved deeper into his studies and career, he realized that his true passion was elsewhere. This realization prompted him to explore alternative career paths, leading him to a six-month internship at PwC's sustainability team. Following this experience, he embarked on a seven-year journey with SPI, a consultancy company specializing in strategy, innovation, internationalization, R&D, and technology.
Miguel later returned to the 'Big 4' consulting firms, working at Deloitte for four and a half years before joining KPMG. Currently a senior manager in KPMG's R&D and Innovation Incentives team, he is focused on identifying and realizing cash flow and incentive opportunities for clients, ensuring their growth and success in an ever-evolving business landscape.
His career reflects a commitment to introspection, adaptability, and an unyielding pursuit of personal and professional growth. He leverages his acquired management skills to make a meaningful impact on clients, drive innovation, and inspire others as a leader.
