The work helps when a situation is already under pressure, and when leadership wants structure before friction becomes visible. The focus is practical: understand the situation, put structure around it, and leave the team with something it can keep using.

Perspective

Formed across cultures and systems.

Swiss-Brazilian by background, Akhnaton combines academic training in international relations, human sciences, and sports management with professional experience across business, technology, and international delivery.

His outlook was shaped early by a move to Russia for studies, followed by later years in Spain and Switzerland. That mix of study, mobility, and delivery experience made him comfortable in environments where people may share the same objective, but read the context differently.

Operating record

Tested where several parties had to deliver together.

His way of working has been tested across global technology platforms, sport governing environments, and major event delivery. The work has included multi-market expansion across more than twenty markets, partner and vendor governance, and regulated market entry.

It has also covered country readiness, venue operations, and national-team delivery under fixed public deadlines.

The settings were different, but the requirement was consistent: help several parties work from the same facts, make ownership visible, and give senior stakeholders a clearer view of what needed to happen next.

Working philosophy

Close to the work, simple enough to hand back.

Akhnaton is especially drawn to organisations where important work depends on several parties doing their part: leadership teams, executive sponsors, vendors, partners, and market teams. These situations are not always broken. Often, they simply need the same structure, attention, and follow-through as the strategy that created them.

He comes to this work from the inside, with respect for how delivery actually happens once agreements are signed. The strongest outcomes are rarely the result of one person pushing harder. They come when the right people see the same reality, understand their part, and follow through without making the work heavier.

That is the role DIAS Advisory plays: senior support close to the work, simple enough to hand back.

How to engage

Start with the situation.

Most engagements begin with a short conversation to clarify the commercial priority, the delivery risk, and the level of senior structure required.
