I'm a physicist, a fintech researcher and a speaker.
Deeply involved in the startup ecosystem, I work bringing knowledge to the community about investments, startups and innovation.
I did a research on early-stage investments in the fintech market through Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in partnership with German Crowdfunding Association.
A financial market specialist with strong analytical and quantitative skills, I have over 15 years of experience in investments and product structuring in brokerages, regulatory institutions and stock and futures exchanges.
I lectured at Trevisan Escola de Negócios, at São Paulo Tech Week, at Tech Week FATEC and created a series on LinkedIn about crowdfunding, supporting and promoting the development of the ecosystem.
Outside the office, I'm an explorer. In my spare time, I love to travel, hike, learn new things and spend time with family and friends.
I am driven by curiosity with the aim of making a difference.
