Industrial executive with over 18 years of experience managing chemical and manufacturing plants. I have successfully led three Arkema sites in Italy, driving EBITDA growth, implementing lean and Six Sigma methodologies, and fostering a culture of safety, quality, and innovation. My strategic vision is backed by strong technical and managerial education, including a Master’s in Chemical Engineering, an Executive MBA, and international leadership training (HEC Paris, Fundação Dom Cabral). I am fluent in English, French, Portuguese, and Italian, and have worked in multicultural environments across Europe and South America. I am open to exploring strategic opportunities where I can leverage my experience to drive industrial transformation, operational excellence, and sustainable growth within complex organizations.
