Rui Assis Costa MBA

Business Management Consultant | Strategic Achiever, Learner & Operational Catalyst
I deliver measurable results by merging strategic foresight, disciplined execution, and continuous learning. My expertise lies in driving profitability through operational excellence: reducing recurring incidents by 30% (Booking.com), boosting product adoption by 25% (Signify), and streamlining global aviation fleets to 99% readiness (KLM). A natural problem-solver, I thrive in ambiguity—balancing data-driven decision-making with stakeholder collaboration to cut costs, enhance efficiency, and foster trust. My engineering rigor (aircraft systems) and MBA-trained business acumen allow me to bridge technical and strategic domains, while cross-cultural experience (Portugal, Netherlands, Brazil) ensures agility in dynamic environments. I empower teams through transparent leadership, morale-building, and accountability, always prioritizing sustainable growth over short-term fixes. Let’s transform challenges into opportunities.
