I am a centaur professional.
I am a digital product and project manager who also happens to run 3 different companies; one is a tech startup at early stage, the other is a cloud backup MSP and the third one is a formal attire shop, family business.
I started my career in 1993 at a small IT services company based in São Paulo.
Years later, in 2002, I landed my first position as a project manager and worked on the implementation of Knowledge Management practices within the LATAM office of an ERP company. As of today the company is called Infor.
In 2003, I began teaching project management at a local university.
From 2006 and 2009 I worked for HP, the largest organization I have ever worked in. My job was to develop online learning products to the sales force so they could do better deals.
In 2010, I had my first experience with tech startups. I played a hybrid role as a project manager and product owner in the development of a multi-product Education portal for the Brazilian market.
Four years later, I joined Blackboard, now Anthology, an Online Learning Solutions company where I confirmed my tendency to always take on jobs with multiple hats. I did a lot of project management, consulting services management, services partner enablement among other work lines.
In 2018 I returned to the startup scene, and since then I’ve been having the opportunity to work on several projects you can check via the links below.
