Prime Matter Consulting was founded on the belief that meaningful transformation is possible when deep scientific expertise meets sharp business insight. Our name nods to the idea of essential raw potential—the kind that, when refined through experience and strategy, leads to breakthrough results.
We are a boutique consulting firm with a multidisciplinary team that combines operational excellence, strategic thinking, and technical rigour. From navigating complex regulatory landscapes to optimising internal processes or driving innovation, we help organisations turn challenges into opportunities and ideas into impact.
Our approach is analytical, collaborative, and tailored. We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions—we co-create them with our clients, drawing from a wide range of tools and perspectives to deliver outcomes that are both visionary and executable.
Confidentiality is central to our work. Many of our engagements are governed by non-disclosure agreements, and we uphold the highest standards of discretion and trust.
Let Prime Matter Consulting be your partner in transformation—where insight becomes strategy, and strategy becomes success.

Scientific Director & Partner
A grant-winning Research Scientist, trained and worked in some of the finest academic and research institutions in Portugal.
