About
I am a results-driven senior executive with extensive experience leading business units, driving corporate governance, and executing strategic transformations across healthcare, telecommunications, education, and technology sectors. With a proven track record in managing large-scale operations and building high-performing teams, I combine strong business acumen with hands-on leadership to deliver sustainable growth and organizational excellence.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led general management initiatives, overseen full P&L responsibilities, driven business turnarounds, and championed digital innovation. I have had the privilege of launching greenfield operations that quickly achieved market leadership and leading strategic initiatives that improved institutional performance and profitability. At Unimed Fortaleza, I structured robust risk and compliance programs and led the company’s full compliance with Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD).
My expertise in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) is complemented by a deep specialization in data privacy and cybersecurity. As a holder of CIPP/E and CIPM certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, I have led privacy programs aligned with LGPD, GDPR, and PIPEDA standards. My work includes strategic advisory, risk assessments, privacy by design initiatives, and DPO as-a-service models across diverse industries.
I am passionate about leadership development, building high-performance cultures, and managing organizational change. I have also shared my knowledge as a postgraduate lecturer and public speaker, reinforcing my commitment to professional development and knowledge transfer.
Academically, I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Lancaster University in the UK, and degrees in Law and Mechanical Engineering from top Brazilian universities. I have enhanced my expertise through specialized programs in ESG, Internet Law, and Strategic People Management from institutions like UC Berkeley, the University of Geneva, and INSEAD.
Currently, I work as an executive consultant and interim executive, supporting companies through strategic consulting, governance advisory, and interim leadership roles during periods of transformation. I am open to permanent executive opportunities and interim management projects, bringing a combination of strategic vision, operational excellence, and regulatory expertise to help organizations achieve their goals.
