Akhnaton Dias
Swiss-Brazilian senior advisor and operator. More than ten years of programme governance, strategic partnerships, and cross-border execution across Google, UEFA, and the FIFA World Cup. Greater Zurich Area.
Built where execution has no second chance.
His experience spans more than a decade across global technology and international sport, including partner ecosystems, regulated market entries, and multi-country delivery programmes in over twenty countries.
He has led market entries and partner ecosystems in Qatar, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Namibia, and delivered operational mandates in UEFA competitions and the FIFA World Cup, environments defined by fixed deadlines, public scrutiny, and multi-stakeholder coordination where the margin for error is zero.
DIAS Advisory was created for organisations that need structure without bureaucracy: clear ownership, disciplined cadence, measurable governance, and execution that holds under pressure.
Based in the Greater Zurich Area, Akhnaton works across Switzerland, Europe, Brazil, and the Switzerland-Brazil corridor, with selected availability for mandates in MENA, Africa, and the CIS region. Working languages: English, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.
Most engagements begin with a thirty-minute scope call.
The scope call clarifies the operating problem, the timeline, and whether the practice is the right fit. Investment is discussed afterwards once scope is established.
