Mário Sousa Cardoso

With over 20 years of market experience, I specialize in structuring Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) transactions, business valuation, and strategic advisory for companies undergoing growth, capital raising, or succession planning. I'm the founder of Oporto Capital Partners, a boutique advisory firm focused on mid-market M&A with an international perspective. We are dedicated to delivering technically sound, strategically driven, and high-integrity transactions. My multidisciplinary background in Engineering, Law, and Corporate Finance enables a comprehensive approach that combines in-depth financial analysis, corporate structuring, and long-term strategic positioning. Throughout my career, I have advised family-owned businesses, multinational corporations, and publicly traded companies, focusing on: • Preparation for M&A, fundraising, or exit • Strategic and financial diagnostics • Risk management and governance • Value creation in complex negotiations I'm committed to ethics, clarity, and sustainable results — helping companies become stronger, more attractive, and ready for the next stage of growth.
