André Albuquerque, a visionary entrepreneur, and educator, founder of One Month PM, emerges as an emblematic figure in the landscape of innovation and entrepreneurship. With a journey marked by a constant pursuit of knowledge and a passion for creation, André found in his education at Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics the initial incentive to materialize his dreams. His trajectory is an inspiring narrative of transformation and determination, which led him to create One Month PM - a groundbreaking project that democratizes access to product management knowledge, empowering individuals from all backgrounds to build successful digital products in just one month.
Born and raised in Lisbon, André embarked on a journey of self-discovery from a young age. "I started in arts and decided I wanted to build houses, so I went into architecture. When I got into architecture, I realized that what I really wanted was to manage an architecture firm, not to build the houses themselves. And that's when I realized I was in the wrong course. I left architecture, decided to study 3 years of mathematics in 3 months to be able to enter Católica, and I made it, I got into CATÓLICA-LISBON and it was the best decision I could have made," recalls André.
During his years at university, André absorbed knowledge and inspiration that pushed him towards his entrepreneurial future. Immersing himself in business and innovation disciplines, he began to envision a different path from the conventional one. It was during that time that his passion for entrepreneurship and creating new products began to take root.
André's inspiration to found One Month PM was motivated by his experience at Google, where he witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of technology on people's lives. This period was crucial in shaping his entrepreneurial vision and preparing him for the challenges ahead, as it was where André began to realize a gap in the product management education market. Many individuals, eager to enter the world of digital entrepreneurship, found themselves lacking the necessary tools and knowledge to succeed. Thus, the idea of One Month PM was born.
With the mission of empowering a new generation of digital entrepreneurs, André launched One Month PM with an innovative and accessible approach. Unlike traditional educational programs, One Month PM adopts a practical and intensive methodology, focused on providing participants with the skills and tools needed to build and launch successful digital products in record time.
Over the years, André has witnessed a wide range of profiles seeking One Month PM courses, reflecting the diversity and universal reach of digital entrepreneurship. "I realized that there is almost no profile. It can be anyone: a younger person, an older person, someone within technology, someone from a different industry who sees the value and wants to reinvent," says André.
One of the underlying principles of One Month PM is the idea of learning by doing. "The biggest mistake is to build a product within the comfort of our four walls," he warns, emphasizing the need to constantly test and validate ideas in the real world.
Since its launch, One Month PM has enjoyed remarkable success, with courses selling out quickly and a growing waiting list. The demand for product management knowledge has been overwhelming, demonstrating the relevance and impact of André's work. Renowned companies, both in Portugal and internationally, have turned to One Month PM to empower their teams and drive innovation in their businesses.
The success of One Month PM is proof of André Albuquerque's vision and commitment to democratizing access to knowledge and empowering individuals to realize their entrepreneurial dreams. By empowering a new generation of digital entrepreneurs, André is leaving a lasting legacy in the business landscape, turning ideas into reality and inspiring others to follow in his footsteps towards success.
