About

Creative Operations leader with 13+ years building and scaling content production systems at the intersection of tech, media, and AI. Currently owning video, podcast, and live stream operations globally at MongoDB, managing agency partners, remote studio infrastructure, and cross-functional content strategy across the US, LATAM, and EMEA. My edge is systems thinking applied to creative work: turning chaotic, ad-hoc request cultures into predictable, high-output pipelines without inflating headcount or budget. I've doubled production capacity at MongoDB without additional spend, and scaled Google Cloud's post-production output by 150% in a quarter. Equally fluent in stakeholder alignment, vendor negotiation, AI-driven workflow design, and hands-on production. Brazilian, living in Spain. Fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
