This is a resume of my personality and journey...

2. Pedro Azevedo Innovation Consultant at Deloitte +447 543 261 526 azevedo.mj.pedro@gmail.com pedrojmazevedo pedrojmazevedo Hometown: Lisbon, Portugal Residence: London, England What I’m looking for: A new challenge in innovation. One where I can evolve in my professional passion - the place where the future and the now meet to build better products, services and deeper experiences.
Profile I am passionate about change, challenging orthodoxies and creating meaningful things that have a real impact on people. This is a big part of who I am and what I do, and I do it through innovation. I believe that innovation gets its best results from the intersection of foresight, design thinking and multidisciplinarity. I have made my mission to learn the most about a variety of areas in the impossible pursuit of knowing everything about everything. My background in psychology allows me to have a deeper understanding of people’s behavior, which is complemented by a business degree and an inquisitive mind that works to envision and shape the future.
Futurist I am always studying and thinking about what the future might bring. How the world might evolve. Which social or technological developments we can expect. Which trends will impact the world. Being able to understand the different configurations that the future might take and to answer accordingly, that’s the ultimate competitive advantage. Let’s not forget, they promised us jetpacks and hoverboards! Dot Connector Connecting diversity and curiosity ignites an explosion of ideas and real breakthroughs. Growing up surrounded by biologists, artists and computers fostered my curiosity and will to continuously learn. It also led me to become stuck in the “why phase”. A diverse academic background and having lived, and worked, in a truly multicultural environment gave me the tools to better understand how dots connect. I’ve played basketball for over 12 years, played guitar, built websites in my teens and read avidly. Idea Explorer The world is full of amazing things. Ideas will pop as long as you go out and explore. I’ve been exploring forever, trying out new things, from drawing basketball plays to comic strips, kitchen appliances or cool ways of improving the education system, sometimes even.. building companies.
