Since day 1 Pedro has been a great partner and technology provider for Mailee. SendGrid is a product that solves our problem, but ultimately technology can only take things further to a certain degree. After a deal is closed, most of it success is about the human relationship that we have with the person on the other side. As a high volume brazilian customer of SendGrid, Pedro has demonstrated the perfect balance between resourcefulness and care, making it easy for us to recommend not only SendGrid as an email technology, but him as a professional partner manager.

I have had the great opportunity to work with Pedro over the last nine months as he performed the role of Product Owner in our Agile team. Pedro's insight and knowledge into our customers were instrumental in not only landing large, globally well-known accounts and partnerships, but in guiding our team and managing our backlog in a fashion that allowed developers to get work done and feel accomplished. I look forward to working with Pedro again in the future and I highly recommend him.

An amazing person, an engaged professional and a dedicated teacher. These are the main qualities of Pedro, a person that I`ve been working and in contact for the past years. For us at SPdS he created and teached our PR + Social Media Course, one of the main courses that we offered in 2010 / 2011.

Conheci o Pedro no curso de RP 2.0 que ele ministrou na São Paulo Digital School. Fui até lá convidado a falar sobre o dia a dia do profissional de mídias sociais para a turma dele e fiquei muito feliz com o convite. Continue investindo em você e correndo atrás dos seus objetivos meu amigo, pois logo eles se tornarão realidade! Grande abraço!
