Purpose

Ethical and secure decision-making is the foundation of sustainable growth. My mission is to help leaders and organizations integrate strategy, risk, and information security in ways that are both structured and human-centered — transforming complexity into clarity, and risk into confidence.

Who I Am

I’m an executive and consultant with over 20 years at the intersection of strategy, governance, risk management, and information security.

Throughout my career, I have combined corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and consulting — from directing strategic and risk initiatives at Petrobras, to founding a company in the United States, to mentoring entrepreneurs and executives across industries.

This journey has shaped a leadership approach grounded in clarity, coherence, and integrity — and a professional vision that connects executive decision-making with governance and human values.

In complexity, clarity is a leadership responsibility.
