Hello!
My name is Bernardo Aguiar and I am SpeechCare's co-founder and Head of Business Development.
At Speechcare, my focus is on business strategy, communications, and product development. I bridge the speech therapy and technology teams, helping to develop products that create meaningful customer engagement and improve clinical decision-making.
Following our mission to help children and adults to overcome their communicative challenges, I strive to build and maintain a supportive, frictionless, and empowering ecosystem, which enhances the work of our specialised Speech and Language Therapists. I am also responsible for the company’s funding and grant application efforts, aiming for long-term and innovation-driven partnerships with a positive impact on people’s wellbeing.
I have over twelve years of experience in advocacy, corporate communications, and business development at an international level, having worked with listed companies, business associations, and start-ups. My goal is to amplify Speechcare’s global outreach, keeping the same commitment, empathy and quality of care.
