Renato Mota

COO & Co-Founder

Renato is Co-Founder and COO of Napps, where he helps Shopify brands launch fully native mobile apps without writing a single line of code, which is convenient, because neither can he. He leads operations, product strategy, and sales, which is a polished way of saying he's cc'd on everything and personally responsible for nothing that goes wrong.

He holds a Master's degree in Finance from Católica Porto Business School, which he brings up in roughly 100% of his bios and 100% of first dates. It taught him to build spreadsheets so detailed they qualify as fan fiction, and to say "unit economics" with the confidence of a man who has definitely, at some point, understood them.
