RUI PEREIRA

Product Manager

BIO

I'm Rui Pereira, a product leader with a passion for turning complex ideas into simple, impactful solutions. Over the past 17+ years, I've worked across SaaS, AI, and Cybersecurity, helping teams build products that people trust and love to use. From launching an e-signature platform adopted by thousands, to leading security innovations at global scale, I've learned that great products come from listening closely to users and aligning diverse teams behind a shared vision. I'm curious by nature, driven by problem-solving, and always exploring how emerging tech, especially AI can improve security, compliance, and everyday work. Whether I'm working with a startup or a global company, I focus on creating value, fostering collaboration, and making technology work for people.
