About

With over 20 years of international experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with leading companies across Latin America, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region. Today, I serve as the LATAM Markets and Solutions Managing Partner at EY, based in Santiago, Chile. My background combines deep technical expertise with strategic vision. I hold a degree in Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Uberlândia, an MBA from FGV EAESP in São Paulo, and an Executive Certificate in Strategy and Innovation from MIT Sloan School of Management. What drives me is a passion for entrepreneurship, innovation, and building high-impact solutions that create long-term value for companies, communities, and markets. I believe in the power of collaboration, purpose-driven leadership, and continuous reinvention. Always open to exchanging ideas on the future of business, the role of AI and technology, and how to shape a more sustainable and inclusive economy
