This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the BRASA Summit Innovation at UC Berkeley and engage in conversations around the intersection of technology, business, and the future of Brazil. A few key takeaways stood out: • How institutions are leveraging technology to transform financial services and expand access • Innovation at scale happens not only in startups, but also within large, established organizations • The importance of culture, collaboration, and adaptability in building meaningful careers • Learning from professionals at companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Uber reinforced how diverse paths can lead to impactful work Grateful for the experience and the opportunity to connect with inspiring people. Looking forward to applying these insights moving forward.
