About

I'm the founder of a global media studio based in Portugal, MD Media Fusion, a TV show host, and a US-focused commentator. During my nearly 14 years in New York, I served as a reporter and field producer for renowned global media giants such as Fox News and ABC News, delivering news coverage on critical global events.Today, I also bring that same editorial authority and stage presence to international conferences and forums. As a moderator and host, I have led high-level discussions for organizations including Web Summit (NYSE panel), the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation, and other global platforms, connecting thought leaders, policymakers, and innovators with diverse audiences.As a member of the New York courts’ press corps covering criminal justice in America, I built a reputation for in-depth and incisive reporting. My reporting included high-profile cases involving figures like Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Mexican drug-dealer El Chapo.I also made significant contributions to global political journalism, namely conducting compelling interviews with prominent personalities such as President Joe Biden at the launch of his presidential campaign, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, and an exclusive sit-down with the then International Monetary Fund director Dominique Strauss-Kahn.As a general assignment journalist, I covered everything from presidential elections and the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations to natural disasters, mass shootings, and terrorism. These roles honed my storytelling abilities and enhanced my awareness of the media’s power in molding public opinion.I am also a non-fiction author as I published an investigative journalism book on a high-profile murder trial that took place in New York, after a two-year-long coverage of the case and an exclusive with the convicted killer.A Communications graduate, my academic journey includes a postgraduate degree in Global Affairs from New York University, crisis reporting training from Columbia University, and an in-depth study of U.S. political institutions through HarvardX.

On Stage

I bring energy and clarity to high-level conferences and panels across Portugal and beyond, leading conversations on everything from innovation, justice, sustainability, and more.

What Makes Us Unique in the Age of AI

An international event hosted by the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos, where I moderated a live discussion on artificial intelligence with Neil Lawrence, the DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge. The conversation explored what makes us unique in the age of AI, from the risks of automation and algorithmic bias to the human values we must protect as technology advances.

Web Summit

One of the world’s largest technology conferences, bringing together global leaders, innovators, startups, and investors to explore the future of tech & business. I moderated a panel focused on how companies transition from high-growth private firms to successful public companies. We explored managing change, understanding market conditions, meeting investor expectations, and crafting compelling narratives for an increasingly demanding public.

Sustainable Business Event by Generali Group

SME EnterPRIZE is an event organized by the Generali Group focused on promoting sustainable business practices among small and medium-sized enterprises. I served as the MC and moderated the event, leading discussions on sustainability and corporate responsibility.

TV Show Hosting

I have hosted a range of TV programs, bringing engaging conversations and sharp analysis to a broad audience. On 'Economy Without Borders', I explore how companies can expand globally, featuring interviews with top entrepreneurs, diplomats, and decision-makers. In 'One Home, One Future', I delve into Portugal’s public housing challenges, speaking with influential figures such as the Mayor of Lisbon and leading policy experts to uncover solutions and share community perspectives.
