A Passion for Higher Education
From a young age, our founder, Nuno Couto knew without a doubt that an education was very important to him. He loved learning and was passionate about school. However, as the first in his family to pursue a college education, he faced almost overwhelming obstacles. Although he had the opportunity to attend top universities, he gave in to these obstacles. Instead of pursuing a college education, he entered the workforce right after high school. For years, he worked menial jobs with very low pay, no benefits, and no future. Finally, in his early twenties, he decided to attend university—no matter the consequences or the opinions of others. It was difficult, as he now had a family to support and a full time job to balance along with his education. Nevertheless, several years later, he graduated as the top student in his Information Systems degree program. Later, after working at Accenture and Boston Scientific, Nuno went on to complete his MBA with a concentration in High Tech.
It was during his pursuit of an MBA that Nuno developed a strong interest in entrepreneurship. He decided to build a company focused on IT consulting services—but with a twist. The company, he decided, must contribute in some way to his passion and commitment to Higher Education. That company became Optimal Campus Consulting, Inc.
