Joao Pedro Moniz Barreto, Operating Partner at Closing Foundry

Operating Partner

Joao Pedro Moniz Barreto

Scales EMEA revenue for technical SaaS sold into regulated industries.

Pedro spent twelve years as the sole EMEA sales leader for a US DevOps platform, and took the region from €400K to €1.9M. A 68% competitive win rate, 17 new enterprise logos, and customers who simply didn't leave: 90% retention over a decade.

He sells into the toughest rooms, CIOs, VPs of Engineering, compliance leaders, and he's built the boring machinery that makes it repeatable: full-cycle playbooks, CRM stage definitions, an ROI calculator that became the company-wide standard. He also has a PhD in biochemistry, which tells you something about how he takes a problem apart. Four languages, fifteen-plus countries, time zones that never quite line up.
