Artur Raimundo Dias The Digital MBA

PRACTICAL AND PEOPLE-ORIENTED WITH A SERVANT LEADERSHIP MINDSET

A entrepreneur at heart, Artur is always immersed in great ideas and consistently manages to achieve great results with one or two projects up his sleeve.

He considers that his career began in his early day of college, in student associations – which most notably include a board membership in AIESEC's local chapter and being part of the founding team of Junior Achievement Alumni Portugal, of which he later became President.

But his career took off with an internship at Oracle Corporation, in its office in Dublin, followed by a return to academia, completing a double degree with FEP and KEDGE Business School. Artur also won a Microsoft student competition and published an academic journal during this period.

Later, Artur joined a Business Intelligence consultancy firm in Porto to work as a technology Consultant. After working with industry leaders in insurance, retail and financial services, a small startup idea came from a client – a new online e-commerce product that Artur managed the technology segment from scratch.

After hitting the market and gaining traction, the founding team raised a seed investment and invited him to join as a Head of Product and Marketing at Wegho.

The now seed-stage startup started with 3 employees in an empty office but quickly grew in sales and numbers. After overcoming the initial shock from the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, with over 150 employees in Porto and Lisbon, Artur joined a new challenge at Hostelworld Group to bring back the tourism demand.
