With 26 years in my career, I have journeyed from an intern to a C-level executive in the first 22 years, despite coming from a poor community.In 2022, I began a new career in DEI / Social Impact, a field I had already worked in on the side for over 15 years: I already taught in programs focused on belonging and acceleration, developing ESG-driven tech products and initiatives to include people from diverse backgrounds — such as those from underserved communities, Black, LGBTQIA+, disabled individuals, and people over 50 - many years before affirmative action policies existed. My goal is to make my unlikely success story likely for millions of diversity people who pursuing careers in technology.Before this transition, I worked in Technology Projects with a focus on Customer Experience and Service, leading People, Project, Process, Solution, Product, Offer, and Revenue Management (from conception and testing to implementation and payback analysis). Between 2011 and 2020, I managed teams in Solution Architecture Consulting and Pre-Sales, with an emphasis on Process Automation, Virtual Assistance, Applications, Omnichannel Support, Voice Biometrics, Analytics, Speech Transcription, and Backoffice Process Optimization in sectors such as Retail, Health, Insurance, Assistance, Finance, and Telecom.In 2020, I co-founded Mimo Live Sales, Brazil's first Live Commerce startup. In 2021, I became the first Latin American woman to serve as Global Delivery Lead (Local CTO) at Afiniti. In 2022, I joined Cliqx, which led the Social Dev program, training young people from favelas to become software developers—a purpose connected with my social dreams. It drove me to start Arquipélago das Vagas' transformation, an initiative I founded in 2020 to support the unemployed, into a social startup. However, I gave up it, when iFood offered me the role of Director of Social Impact because I recognized the potential of a big tech ecosystem to scale social solutions and took on this role. It was recognized by the Black Brazilian community through the iFood Acredita and iFood Acredita na Favela programs, which support Black entrepreneurs and because of diversity supplier strategy that I put in pratice in Social Impact VP.I am now back in a senior leadership position in technology to support Teledata clients in scaling and growing revenue through innovation & solutions based in RoI. Concurrently, in Fiap, I continue as an MBA professor and researcher on the future of Blue Carbon and as a Board Advisor I continue supporting some social and environmental impact initiatives.
