I’m an award-winning creative leader, dynamic collaborator, inclusive mentor, and champion of talent. With 20+ years of experience building global brands, I thrive in delivering human-centric solutions that spark emotion while integrating culture and content. I believe in the power of creativity to drive business results, build loyal communities, and create positive change. Every challenge is an opportunity.
Staying true to my Brazilian-Italian roots, a perfect day includes time outdoors, a great meal with my partner and friends, and some classic bossa nova.
