Bernardo Patrão

I'm an experienced Technical Product Manager having led specialized teams working in high-demanding markets for more than 25 years.

Having mostly worked in Cyber-security related products, my initial experience is in high integrity systems, such as aeronautics and space. I have successfully led teams from creating a product into spinning off into start-up and up until the exit strategy of an acquisition. In most recent years I’ve worked alongside some of the most brilliant minds of the cybersecurity industry in helping to create the next generation of cloud security products.

Have worked as a Director of Innovation for Critical Software and leading program management at the Smart and Reliable Systems Division at Critical focused on delivering high-quality software and systems for the Energy, Industrial Automation and Smart-devices markets.

Nowadays I'm focusing on Engineering management of a promising startup, aiHealth, helping a team of talented people deliver a product solving real-world problems through the use of ML and AI.

Founder of AiNest, ecosystem creation and nurturing around AI startups and ideas in Coimbra.
