About André Lupu

Innovation Leader with over 15 years of experience in product development and facilitating collaborative groups, driving the transformation of large companies.I have extensive experience in fostering the creation of innovative solutions and collaborating with teams to overcome complex challenges. I have worked directly at companies like Vivo, Oi, and Embracon, and have led consulting projects for brands such as Shell, Syngenta, MSD, ISA Cteep, and Google. Throughout my career, I’ve applied methodologies like Design Thinking, Design Sprint, and Lean Inception to deliver significant results, adding real value to the business.I believe that technology is a powerful tool, but the true driving force behind innovation is people. My goal is to create collaborative environments where teams can take ownership of understanding and solving problems, promoting agile and efficient processes. Additionally, I am constantly exploring and testing new business models and market opportunities, aligning these initiatives with the company’s growth strategy while seeking new revenue sources and differentiation.Some of the most relevant achievements:• Innovation at Embracon: In 12 months, I engaged 40% of employees in innovation initiatives with voluntary participation, leading to the creation of new products and processes that significantly improved innovation indicators. I fostered a culture of experimentation and co-creation, balancing incremental innovation with future-focused efforts based on the concept of organizational ambidexterity.• Development of innovative products and services: I was responsible for the development and launch of Vivo Play, a pioneering platform for live and on-demand digital TV. I also led the development of the first credit card aimed at the low-income market, in addition to adapting technological solutions at Oi to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.• Design and facilitation of learning experiences: I facilitated learning experiences for companies like Shell, Oi, MSD, ISA Cteep, and Google, directly impacting more than 1,500 people. My focus was on empowering teams through co-creation and expanding their toolkit of methods and approaches, fostering a culture of innovation and experimentation in diverse organizational contexts.I believe that innovation goes beyond technology: it’s about empowering people to take ownership, adapting approaches and tools to each organization’s context to make innovation practical, scalable, and focused on sustainable results.
