Carlos Cruz started his first venture while studying Business Administration at ISCTE University ( www.iscte-iul.pt).  “Fail but Fail Fast” was the first and most important lesson he learned and a headhunter once told him that he is off the regular career pathway – and he was right.

After that, he worked for Intel Security for  8 years as a Retail Manager and in 2014, he was selected for the MIT Portugal Program – Building Global Innovators, for a project in Big Data applied to Public Transportation and Payments. In 2016, he set up Unicage EU with Nobuaki Tounaka and Daniel Faria. In 2017, Unicage was shortlisted for the Banking Technology Awards in London with the MUFG Project in Japan.
