I helped Easy Taxi, one of the biggest Brazilian startups, to ship their B2B product to many companies around the world. While I was working on Easy Taxi Corporate we had +3000 companies around the globe using our platform. This represents a 10x growth compared when I started working on the product. Besides the B2B platform I also worked on feature-squads as Product Manager: i) Taximeter (Mobile App Android) - global product; ii) New BackOffice (Web platform) - global product; iii) Easy Taxi Pro (Web platform) - global product.

I was basically a Jack-of-all-Trades inside the company since it was pretty small. Grana was a personal finance app focused on the global market.
