Riassunto

I don’t know all of you personally, but those who know me know very well how passionate I am for ideas, and especially for brave ideas that cause people to reflect.

I’m crazy about ideas. Though my closest friends would say I’m just crazy. My passion is to create ideas with purpose. I had the privilege to do it with brands and agencies I admire in the U.S., Europe and LATAM like Havas Digital, Loducca (Omnicom Group), TBWA, Zimmerman (Omnicom Group), The Walt Disney Company and J. Walter Thompson, helping them to win more than 150 Awards and several metals at the One Show, Cannes Lions, D&AD, CLIO, LIA, The Webby Awards, Effies and more.

Some of my main clients included: Dell, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Vodafone, Kimberly Clark, Coca-Cola, ABInBev, Disney, Jamba Juice, Nissan, Mazda, Citroën, Peugeot, Santander, AirFrance, L'oreal, Carrefour, Nestlé and Pirelli

I’ve also been honored to serve on the juries of several festivals in different countries, including Brazil, USA, Britain, France, Slovenia, Italy, South Korea, Argentina, United Arab Emirates and Portugal.

I first learned my craft when I studied Advertising at the Carioca University Centre (UniCarioca). I then went on to complete two post-graduate degrees in Marketing and Sports Marketing at the Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), and later obtained a Master's in Business Administration from IBMEC.
