CEO & Founder | Nutritionist (1268N)

Diogo Ferreira

Hello! I’m Diogo, founder and CEO of Nutriwin. It is with great excitement that I finally bring this project to light.

For those who don’t know me, I am a nutritionist, and a lot has happened since my first internship at the youth football academy of Sport Lisboa e Benfica in 2009: internships with professionals abroad (@nclarkrd), articles for sports magazines (@opraticante), the initial adventure of working individually with athletes (@dubabarradas and @the.king.d, you were the first to "suffer" with me!) until the "leap" to elite professional football (@slbenfica), where I had the privilege of working in a multidisciplinary team with great coaches and players, and taking on the responsibility of leading a team of nutritionists; later continuing as a consultant for the club across various sports, before heading to the Middle East and meeting Mr. @jorgejesus again for another adventure and learning experience in football. Along the way, there were also opportunities to work with athletes from other distinct sports such as fencing, tennis, triathlon, sailing, Muay Thai, motorcycling, among others; working on research projects in nutrition and sports, my master's degree at Stirling, UK (@universityofstirling), as well as participating in national and international events where I met and interacted with some of the greatest experts in sports nutrition.

These cumulative experiences, along with my sports background, have given me, in addition to priceless personal and professional growth, the perspective that much more than entertainment, high-performance sports are of utmost importance to the society we live in, as it not only promotes globalization and multiculturalism, but also inspires us to be better every day, redefines what is or isn’t possible (aka it makes us dream!), promotes teamwork, and fosters justice and equality. The opportunity to contribute even 1% to this is something that fulfills and motivates me daily.

A "magic" that is as simple and effective as it is undervalued or seemingly inaccessible.

It was in this way that several years ago I began to develop the idea of building a team of "like-minded" professionals, passionate about nutrition and sport, focused on the rigor of evidence-based practice, and loyal to the principles of commitment and maximum dedication that we see in sports.

At Nutriwin, we aim to assist teams and athletes through excellent nutritional support, innovating in how we work as a team, using validated materials and protocols, and constantly updating our technical-scientific knowledge. We believe that at the core of great work is the education of not only athletes but also coaches and everyone who works with them. We hope to create a positive impact.

You will be our jury!
