Regional Manager | Public Policy Strategist | Tech Advocate | Digital Skills Expert | DE&II'm driven by a passion for creating inclusive upskilling programs within the tech sector, designed to align with company missions while driving significant public policy change. These programs not only empower underrepresented groups and increase Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the industry, but also serve as tangible demonstrations of the positive societal impact fostered by these companies. Leveraging my 18 years of experience at tech industry leaders such as Uber, Meta, and AWS, I've honed a strategic approach that not only advances corporate objectives but also resonates with policymakers. By showcasing how these initiatives contribute to communities and economic development, I've effectively influenced public policies, advocating for pro-innovation regulations that fuel both technological advancement and societal progress.My journey began as a journalist, leveraging my storytelling abilities before delving into the policy realm. Graduating from USP in Journalism and earning a Master's in Public Policy from The George Washington University, I've navigated roles as a reporter at Época magazine, a research analyst in DC, and a public policy consultant at the World Bank. Notably, I've contributed significantly as a Public Policy Manager at Uber, spearheading strategies in Brazil, and expanding my scope to Meta, where I managed Brazil and South Cone policy initiatives until 2021. Currently, I'm dedicated to revolutionizing cloud education programs as AWS's Regional Manager for LATAM.
