Porto Marinho Ltd. is a scenarios and strategies consulting company. It is located in Porto Digital (www.portodigital.org), the biggest IT technology park in Brazil, at Rua da Guia, 142, in the old neighborhood Recife Antigo (the old port area), in the city of Recife, Pernambuco. It is an I-and-myself company (I am alone, but working in partnership with other consultants and consulting companies). As they say in the Paraguayan joke, the company in which “la garantía soy yo”, Cláudio Marinho. In other words: I am Porto Marinho’s delivery.
For that reason, I decided to go straight to the real issue, creating this blog instead of a “site” (sorry, in Portuguese only) where you can discover who I am from what I think of life. After all, this is what my clients get when they pay for my services. They pay for myself and my circumstances – my life stories that pile up as experiences integrated into my consulting work. [NOTE: yes, the last post was in 2008. With Facebook and the like, this blog remains as a historic register of my initial positioning as a private company, after nearly 30 years in the public sector]
You can also find me on Twitter or Instagram as @cmarinho and at Facebook as Claudio Marinho. And for those who need a more formal presentation, here is my short CV:
