As the Head of Security and Investigations at Novartis Brazil, main responsibilities were to enhance the whistle blowing channel and establish the credibility of the investigation process among associates which involved sexual and moral harassment cases, employee relations, conflict of interests, embezzlement, product deviation and fraud, supervision of internal policies and its violations, as well as high complex fraud investigations including private and public corruption (FCPA). Patients's safety was part of the scope as fighting against cargo robbery and recovery, falsified and counterfeit medication, as well as illegal and irregular importation was among main responsibilities to work in conjunction with local law enforcement.

Management of highly complex and dangerous investigative projects, such as bank theft by a criminal organization. This project aimed to identify internal vulnerabilities and assess any contributions made by employees to bank theft. My work has resulted in internal vulnerabilities being detected and also internal suspects to be identified. Evidence of employee participation was raised and handed over to the police authorities. Work conducted both in secure and relatively hostile environments. An aluminum operation suffered two major disruptions which led the client to interpret them as acts of sabotage. I ran several investigation fronts, involving the analysis of CCTV, confrontational interviews, and analysis of access controls. I identified and interviewed the suspects who confessed to the act and I later proved that both events were not connected, whereby in the second event I detected that it was a systemic and not a human problem. Electronic investigation coordination and computer expertise. I ran more than 250 investigations in electronic equipment. In one of the cases it was possible to identify equity of more than 20 million reais for an executive whose monthly salary was approximately 20 thousand reais. I proved through an investigation that the origin of this equity was received as a result of bribes from suppliers. It was possible to reconstruct internet pages where we verified the fraud and the modus operandi. The report produced allowed a local court to freeze suspects’ assets by the lawyers. Mapping and interviews with witnesses and suspects. I coordinated the witness mapping and conducted interviews that resulted in convincing them to testify against a particular fraudulent scheme, enabling our clients to strengthen their legal position.

Asset tracking. Extensive experience in the tracking of assets in Brazil and identification of asset shielding mechanisms. I conducted field activities, interviews and analysis of documents, which could legitimately and skillfully identify in judgment the sufficient assets to recover the amounts due in hundreds of projects. Creation, management and implementation of field investigations. I singlehandedly conducted a major investigation on a national scale through fieldwork, reading thousands of legal documents. We were able to identify the modus operandi of a fraud against a mining company, which also involved senior officials of the government of Espírito Santo. My investigations helped the Client to legally reverse a loss of R$ 65 million reais. The fraud gained fame in Brazil and appeared on the cover of Veja magazine. Electronic data collection: I managed a multidisciplinary team and the implementation of data collection of approximately 800 employees due to an investigation of national scope for the biggest case of corruption in the history of Brazil, Lava-Jato (Operation Car Wash). It allowed the results to be delivered within the time required by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Simultaneous management of several multidisciplinary projects and multinational companies. In conjunction with four other countries, I coordinated investigative work for an important company that was accused of forming of a cartel in the respective countries. My work has allowed the lawyers to format the leniency agreements with the federal authority (CADE).

Fighting against piracy: At the request of a multinational sports shoes company, I ran the broad mapping of approximately 40 manufacturers of pirated footwear in three Brazilian states, which allowed us to demonstrate to the client that falsification was not only exclusive to China. Legal measures against manufacturers were taken due to our results. Art falsification/personal cause: For the past six years I have conducted independent investigation activities aiming to identify individuals that falsified art pieces supposedly produced by Brazilian dead artists. In June 2016, a police operation identified several suspect artists and seized approximately 2,000 art pieces apparently fake. The information I obtained helped local law enforcement to cross-reference relevant data, identified additional key actors, define the best methodologies for forensic activities, as well as assisted the law enforcement to map all affected artistic and they family members. Risk assessment: I conduct various fraud and corruption risk assessments, which are intrinsic and extrinsic to the operations of dozens of clients, allowing the mitigation of risks and preserving the balance of operations. Investigations of white collar crimes, money laundering, cartel formation, dumping, conduct deviations; electronic forensics, receipt and payment of bribes, sabotage, among others are part of the scope of my work.
