I was born in Rio, but soon became a citizen of the world. A descendant of a Portuguese family, I've lived and worked in Brazil and abroad. I resided in the United States – in Washington and New York – and traveled for work to countries like Uganda, Vietnam, El Salvador, Japan, among other incredible places.I'm a father who is passionate about my children, an avid reader, eclectic – I listen to everything from MPB, Rock, Jazz, Blues to classical music – and, of course, a diligent supporter of Tricolor (my beloved soccer team). I followed Napoleon's advice and dedicated every hour of my youth to everything that interested me, from study to sport, cultivating and retaining the best.I believe in human potential, am an optimistic man, and have a humanistic view of life. I understand that I am in constant evolution, consciously and unconsciously, striving to improve at different levels based on my journey of personal and professional learning.I graduated with a bachelor's degree (1975) and a master's degree (1982) in Telecommunications Engineering from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), have an MBA in Information Technology (1991) from George Washington University, and Executive Management Training (1998) from Stanford University.I've worked in companies such as Intelsat, Embratel, Global One, Global Telecom, AOL Brasil, and Starmedia Networks, where I acted in Marketing and Sales, Planning, P&L and Cost Control, Business Development, Negotiation, Startups, Team Building, Venture Capital, and M&A.Currently, I've over 30 years of professional experience and am the CEO and President of Proudfoot Brazil, a global leader in operational management consulting, recognized by Forbes as one of the "Best Management Consulting Companies in America" in the years 2021, 2022, and 2023.I'm active in the implementation and execution of solutions aimed at delivering measurable and sustainable results, and my mission is to help business leaders accelerate the execution of their strategies and business projects, acting at the point of execution and at all levels of the business.Find out how I can help you at proudfoot.com.br
