Customer Experience & Content Creation — Portugal Digital Summit

A panel on how AI is reshaping personalisation — what customers see, when, why and how. My argument: hyper-personalisation and generative media are what lift the customer journey, but creativity, strategy and ethics are not the parts to automate.

FARFETCH × Google AI Week

Three days of webinars and workshops with Google on where AI genuinely earns its place in luxury retail — virtual try-on, marketing and asset creation, video generation — and what it takes to adopt it deliberately rather than bolt it on.

Building the blur between industries

My talk at Building the Future by Microsoft, Portugal's largest digital transformation conference — on how technology keeps dissolving the lines between one industry and the next. Jornal Económico's report from the day carried the short version: listen to customers, weigh new ideas against original ones, don't build technology for technology's sake, and get the right people on the team.

Architecture @ FARFETCH

A look inside how we approach software architecture at FARFETCH — architecture as an organisational practice rather than a job title, the Architecture Group and the teams around it, product built around business domains, and a deliberately pragmatic technology stack.
