Bio
As a seasoned Business Executive, I bring a wealth of experience in market development and strategic partnerships across diverse industries. With a career spanning over two decades, I've held leadership roles at global SaaS leaders and tech giants, such as Wix.com, Google, Shopify, and GoDaddy, delivering transformative results and driving significant growth.
In 2023 I decided to take a career break to focus on personal projects that I had for a long time kept aside. Before this, I held regional leadership positions at Wix.com and Google, leading high-performing teams and executing strategic plans that led to substantial subscriber base growth and increased ARR.
At Loja Integrada, as the Chief Product Officer, I directed product strategy, launched strategic products leading to the company's goals, and scaled a team to support hyper-growth. As Country Manager for Shopify in Brazil, I managed country operations, built partner ecosystems, and achieved triple-digit customer base growth YoY and triple-digit Revenue growth in 2019.
Before Shopify, I served as Director of Product and Business Development at GoDaddy, where I managed a significant budget, achieved high web sales targets, and led business development initiatives that resulted in triple-digit customer base growth and double-digit revenue growth from 2014 – 2016.
I'm a multilingual professional fluent in Portuguese, English, work-functional Spanish, and an alumnus of the executive education programs at Kellogg, Harvard, and INSEAD. My mission is to help companies navigate the complex landscape of digital disruption and evolve their business strategies to thrive in an increasingly connected world.
