01 · Origins
João Pessoa · Brazil

Born where the sun rises first.

João Pessoa is the easternmost city of the Americas, and the continent's closest point to Europe.

2002 · Across the Atlantic

Then I made Italy home.

In 2002 I crossed the ocean and settled in Italy, where I built my life and my career.

Two cultures · one way of working

Curious about everywhere else.

Living between two cultures taught me to read people, adapt fast and connect teams, markets and ideas. 20+ countries explored so far.

The path so far.

Two industries, one method. Every role widened what I was responsible for: from a store team to brands, budgets and business goals.

03 · How I lead

What racing taught me about leading.

Twelve seasons of semi-professional BMX racing, 2009–2021, across Italy and Europe.

BMX RACE12SEASONS
01
On the track

Win at the gate.

Much of a race is decided in the first seconds.

At work

Preparation before launch: clear briefs, shared goals and a team that knows the plan before the gate drops.

02
On the track

Pick your line.

You choose one line and you commit to it.

At work

Few priorities, chosen on data, and the courage to say no to everything else.

03
On the track

Get up first.

Everyone crashes. Winners get up first.

At work

Owning mistakes, treating them as data and building teams where falling isn't scary.

A moment on the track

PLACEHOLDER · a race moment that taught you something (a start, a crash, a comeback)

The same lesson at work

PLACEHOLDER · when you applied it in a project or with a team
