Who am I? That's a question that seems more and more difficult to answer and, frankly, these days I don't even like to spend too much time on it.For the corporate world, perhaps it would be enough to say that I am an executive with leadership roles in organizations such as Ambev, Kraft Heinz, Whirlpool, RBI, Remessa Online, among other companies.I could also say that I am a professional who has been able to get to know the world and lead teams from different cultures, in countries such as China, the United States, Canada, as well as Brazil and Latin America.It turns out that all of this (and none of it) defines me. Positions and titles are temporary, but experiences, mistakes and successes leave their mark and make us up.Between that child - who spent her childhood in Cachambi, who went to public school with no great prospects for the future - and the respected executive, there was a series of tragedies and opportunities that made me this walking metamorphosis.What I do know is that today I want more and more to share these experiences and tell these stories with the aim of contributing to the evolution of other professionals and, above all, people. My journey has shown me that the reflection we need to make is not "how can I be a better CEO", but "how can I be a better person".My journey has been one of self-discovery, of deeper connections with myself and with other people. In the process, I have increasingly felt the need to change the world. Not in a pretentious, youthful, arrogant sense of impacting crowds. Quite the opposite. Today, for me, changing the world means contributing to the evolution of those in front of me here and now.
