Guilherme Salgueiro has been the Chief Operating Officer at FRVR since July 2022, a company dedicated to building an ecosystem that will empower everyone to play games everywhere.
From Corporate companies to early-stage startups, it's not Guilherme´s first time disrupting a sector. In Telecommunications, he helped bring the first triple-play operator to Portugal, managing multiple areas like Customer Service & Retention, Technical Operations and Logistics. In Angola, he was on the team that created one of the biggest satellite providers in Africa, going from 40k Customers to 1M in one year and a half.
As a startup operator, he disrupted the hospitality industry two times ( Housetrip and Uniplaces) and then served as a CEO for two different companies in e-commerce ( Overcube and Undandy).
In 2020 he founded a wine marketplace; in 2021, he joined and helped scale Coverflex (Fintech) as a CCO.
