Born in São Paulo, between the urban concrete and the remnants of the Atlantic Forest, and raised in the Axé of Bahia, I grew up immersed in competitive sports and the search for meaning. I was a professional tennis athlete before earning degrees in Business Administration and Accounting Sciences, a journey that took me behind the scenes of major corporations and, later, into the fertile ground of Ballet, psychoanalysis, education, philosophy, and regenerative leadership. A student of Cosmo Erotic Humanism, Tantra, Tibetan Yoga, and Radical Kabbalah, I am a passionate enthusiast of ancestral and ancient wisdom.
I have worked for over 15 years in strategic financial management and planning roles at large multinational companies. Along the way, I witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional leadership and governance models — which drove me to seek new frameworks for corporate practice. Inspired by thinkers such as Dr. Marc Gafni, Ken Wilber, Humberto Maturana, and Laura Storm, I have specialized in organizational regeneration, systemic sustainability, and consciousness-based development processes.

The Invisible Cost of Dysregulated Leadership: when the nervous system defines company strategy
Brilliant strategies fail when driven by leaders in a permanent state of threat. More than processes and technology, the state of the collective nervous system shapes culture, innovation, and the quality of decisions. The greatest invisible cost in organizations may lie precisely there.

The Great Crisis of the 21st Century Is Not Economic. It Is Relational.
Organizations do not fall ill merely due to strategic failures. They fall ill when the relationships that sustain their systems deteriorate. In a hyperconnected and emotionally fragmented world, the great crisis of the 21st century may not be economic — but relational.
