Michael Peter Salomon

I build digital products with the perspective of someone who spent years on the business side.

01 · Perspective

Business. Product. Technology.

I built my career selling, negotiating and leading businesses in Brazil and Europe. Today I apply that experience to building digital products, connecting business vision, user behaviour and technology.

I work where business meets product — from understanding the problem to validating the solution and taking it to market. AI, to me, is a working tool, not a talking point.

02 · Currently building

Zavio

A PropTech built at the intersection of product, data and artificial intelligence.

Zavio started from a problem I know from the inside of the real estate market: fragmented information, inefficient processes and an experience still far from what technology allows.

As Founder & Product Lead, I lead the product from vision and business model through discovery, flows, requirements, UX, AI-assisted development, QA and the evolution of the solution.

01

Understand the problem

User research, hypothesis validation and value proposition definition before anything gets built.

02

Structure the product

Flows, requirements, prioritisation, UX and roadmap — product decisions driven by impact.

03

Drive the evolution

AI-assisted development, QA, releases, monetisation and go-to-market.

03 · Where I add value

What I bring to a product team.

Discovery & problem definition

Understanding users, validating hypotheses and identifying the real problem before building the solution.

Strategy & prioritisation

Turning business objectives into roadmap, requirements, priorities and product decisions.

Product & execution

Following the solution across UX, requirements, development, QA, validation and evolution.

AI applied to product

Using AI in discovery, specification, prototyping, analysis, assisted development and process improvement.

Business & stakeholders

Comfortable talking to customers, business and engineering — translating needs across very different areas.

04 · External validation

Put to the test.

T2+1 Podcast

I created and hosted T2+1, a podcast on real estate, investment and business, with an audience reaching more than 25 countries.

05 · Career

An evolution, not a restart.

My professional path was built between Brazil and Europe, including several years living and working in Portugal, where I ran my own business and worked in consultative sales and real estate before returning to Brazil.

06 · Next challenge

I'm open to opportunities in Product, AI and Solutions, particularly in technology companies where business, product and engineering need to work closely together.

I can contribute to challenges involving discovery, product strategy and evolution, requirements definition, prioritisation, user experience, applied AI, solution validation and the connection between business needs and technical teams.

Currently based in Brazil, after several years living and working in Portugal. Available for remote work with companies in Brazil and abroad — including global teams and companies based in the United States — with mobility for opportunities in Portugal and Europe.
