An executive with over a decade of experience leading strategic transformation portfolios, acting as a bridge between executive vision and operational execution at major organizations (Carrefour Group, AD Shopping Group, Verity). Simultaneously, I accelerate transformation programs for companies such as Unilever, B3, and Natura (in partnership with Voe sem Asas)—running two acceleration cycles per year, six months each, with multiple simultaneous projects.
I structure and govern initiative portfolios using agile and hybrid methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Design Thinking) and define/track financial and operational value KPIs—with a track record of capturing over R$124M in business impact and R$82M in tax savings. I also work directly to remove cross-departmental roadblocks, facilitating decision-making across technology, business, and operational areas. I report to the C-suite, including the CEO, and have a history of establishing and chairing governance committees (e.g., Venture Committee, CVC).
I am an MBA professor specializing in project methodologies, innovation, and strategic foresight (FGV, FIAP, SP TECH), applying what I teach in practice. As a Head of Innovation and Technology, I have over a decade of experience leading digital transformation and, in recent years, structuring the adoption of business-applied Artificial Intelligence.
I have received various accolades for innovation (Valor Inovação Award, Best Performance, Top 10 Open Corp, MIT Innovative Workplace).
Beyond my professional practice, I share my knowledge as an MBA professor teaching AI Applied to Business, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation (FGV, FIAP, FAAP, XP) and as a co-host of the *Trends News* podcast, reinforcing my commitment to disseminating trends and insights.
I am Nai—originally from Minas Gerais and Billie’s mom. I am a "nexialist" and unstoppable, always seeking an innovation-driven environment that puts people at the center, offers autonomy, leverages my entrepreneurial mindset, and fosters continuous learning.
