About

Nos últimos anos, tenho me destacado como um dos maiores especialistas e precursores em Inteligência Artificial no Brasil. Minha expertise abrange a construção de equipes ágeis através do desenvolvimento de produtos e serviços inovadores, bem como a integração e automação de processos. Ao longo da minha carreira, fui responsável pela formação de dezenas de equipes tecnológicas, para startups e projetos de inovação em grandes empresas. Fundei a startup Witseed com foco em inteligência artificial para aprendizagem corporativa que alcançou grande sucesso no mercado, culminando em um exit. Além de formação em engenharia, também tenho formação em Sociologia e Cultura. O pensamento multidisciplinar e holístico sobre negócios me orienta, permitindo criar soluções que incorporam as mais recentes tecnologias e se alinham com os objetivos estratégicos das organizações. A experiência de ter liderado uma startup do início ao exit bem-sucedido enriqueceu minha visão sobre o ecossistema de inovação e empreendedorismo tecnológico. Reconhecido como uma autoridade em língua portuguesa no campo da Inteligência Artificial, continuo a liderar e inspirar a próxima geração de inovadores tecnológicos, combinando meu conhecimento técnico e minha paixão sobre o tema com uma visão aguçada para as necessidades do mercado e as tendências futuras.

We're not just building teams; we're building entire companies, creating impact that goes far beyond mere numbers. I'm ecstatic about what the future holds, committed to turning dreams into tangible realities, and always open to connect with like-minded innovators.
