Summary

Computer science professional with +13 years of experience leading Technological projects and Information Systems/EPR/Platforms implementation. In recent years, I have been mainly focused on leading Data Governance and Management processes in worldwide organizations supporting operations and projects globally.
My experience came from working for companies in different sectors like Food and Beverages, Manufacturing, Industrials, and Shared Service Centers.
New Technologies and Data are my passions and my career has turned around them. Making appropriate and timely decisions is an art and a necessity for organizations in this ever-changing world, and to be able to do so, in addition to a great team, having access to the right technology and data is a must-have.
I describe myself as a constant learner that is always getting new knowledge from different sources to find new development opportunities and new work methodologies.
As a leader, I have been in charge of cross-functional and multicultural groups located in different regions/countries and this has helped me to develop and grow as a professional and as a human being allowing me to know and understand the different ways of learning and working that are determined by the cultural differences.
