About Alexandre Barreto

I am a professional with more than 20 years of experience managing complex and challenging projects. During this time, I worked in the private and government sector (utility industry, defense, aviation, and IT in general), where I read the opportunity to accumulate experience in all the disciplines involved in project management. I was the Technical Architecture and the Project Manager (PM) of the development and deployment of the most extensive Brazilian government network and security existent in the Amazon Region (SIVAM Project). Also, during the Brazilian World cup and Olympics, I was responsible for the IT System, network, and cyber deployed to meteorological forecast and Ground Air Defense System. After my Ph.D., I was a Deputy Director of Research and Development at the Brazilian Air Traffic Control Institute, where I had the opportunity to establish a set of partnerships with national and international laboratories and scientific groups and coordinate critical studies about resilience and cyber security in the Air Traffic Control, the impact of the ionosphere in the aviation, remote towers, and air traffic control certifications. After I retired from Brazilian Air Force, I was a PM responsible for developing an autonomous system for aerial inspecting and detecting powerlines anomalies, throwing a set of different Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Another important project in which I was involved was the manager of the design and deployment of the smart grid system and the new Command & Control Center to EDP Brazil. After that, I moved to George Mason University (GMU), where I support the PM in organizing the managing process in the GMU team using PMI best practices, such as the SCRUM Methodology in a DARPA Project, the Anytime Reasoning and Analysis for Kill-Web Negotiation and Instantiation across Domains (ARAKNID) project. Returning to Brazil, I founded a company where I worked on different technologies projects using advanced IT systems, IoT, and machine learning. Finally, I possess management skills and qualities such as initiative, leadership, resilience, team spirit, excellent interpersonal relationship, and innovation. The ease of overcoming adversities and facing challenges is also a striking feature of my work.
