Boldview is a senior independent advisory practice based in Lisbon, helping enterprises translate digital ambition into measurable outcomes — backed by 17+ years in financial services and digital transformation, including 8+ years in executive roles.
Boldview was founded in 2025 by Francisco Paes de Vasconcelos, bringing decades of practitioner experience in financial services, data governance, business intelligence and digital transformation — under one principle: technology only matters when it changes outcomes.
The practice works alongside client teams, not above them. Sustainable transformation comes from shared ownership between business and technology, with leadership grounded in real operational responsibility.
From maturity assessment to a sequenced, business-case-backed roadmap aligned with your strategic priorities.
Designing and implementing data governance, BI platforms and AI use-cases — turning information into better decisions.
End-to-end journey redesign and automation, applying agile delivery to compress cycle times.
Stakeholder alignment, capability uplift, and the convergent leadership that transformation demands.
Upskilling your internal teams — so platforms get used and the competence to sustain transformation lives in-house.
Boldview engages where senior, hands-on advisory creates the most value — particularly in regulated environments where business and technology need to move together under real constraints.
Financial services is the home market — built on 17+ years in banking, including hands-on executive experience in transformation, data governance under BCBS239, BI platforms, and information security in a regulated context.
Established organisations that recognise they have fallen behind on innovation and digital — and need a senior, pragmatic partner who has navigated that exact transition before, not a digital-native evangelist.
Energy, healthcare, telecommunications and similar sectors where data governance, regulatory pressure and complex stakeholder ecosystems make execution discipline non-negotiable.
Boldview engages with sponsors at executive level — typically CDO, CIO, COO, CFO or directly with the executive board. Each engagement is scoped to deliver concrete artefacts the organisation can act on, not extended advisory retainers.
