Financial markets required constant decision-making under pressure, an acute understanding of risk, and the ability to navigate complex systems from me for over a decade. And so did Poker.This alignment between the fields allowed me not only to progress quickly as a player and to become Brazilian Poker Champion and #1 in GPI Brazil, but also to contribute to a more solid, inclusive, and innovative Poker market. As CEO of the World Poker Federation and Continental President of the International Mind Sports Association for the Americas, my mission now is to solidify Poker's recognition as a global mind sport. By strengthening its sporting infrastructure and educating the world about its value, WPF and all its national federations are driving the game’s growth and expanding Poker’s positive impact on people’s lives.
