Since 2006 I am involved with tech startups, early stage investments, and corporate open innovation initiatives. I have a strong international background having studied and lived in the US and in Europe for over 15 years. During this period I followed thousands of startups helping them to validate their business model, raise money, and scale. Back to Brazil in 2017, I have held leadership positions in renowned startups, retail franchiser and consulting firms specializing in innovation management and Corporate Venture Capital. Now based in Florianópolis Island I dedicate my activities on helping Brazilian and foreign startups on crossboarder fundraising and business expansion.
