About Me
My story — from macro-economics to human truth
I spent the first half of my career convinced that value was created by systems, structures and strategy. I was wrong — and discovering why changed everything.
2000 — The power of numbers
I graduated in Economics in Brazil, captivated by the structural analysis of industrial growth. I spent my early years as a Strategic Planning Manager and Economic Research Analyst, publishing works on industrial business cycles.
I understood the what and the how of the corporate engine — but something kept escaping the models. A variable that didn't show up in the data.
I began calling it the Who.
2012 — The human variable
Recognising that numbers are merely the footprints of human effort, I moved into Business Strategy and Human Resources. As an HR Manager, I built systems that were meant to empower people — from HR business intelligence dashboards to compensation structures redesigned from scratch.
But even then, something persisted: success that looked exceptional on paper often masked a quiet exhaustion within the teams.
The systems were working. The people inside them were not.
