Summary

With more than 15 years of sales Experience, including 12 years specializing in IT sales, I am a dynamic, results-driven sales leader dedicated to driving revenue growth and delivering exceptional value to customers. In my role as Sales Director, I successfully led a high-performance sales team, developing and executing robust sales strategies across direct and partner channels.

My Experience covers new business development in the Latin American region, customer relationship management, sales strategy formulation, negotiation and cross-functional collaboration. I am an excellent at creating and developing strong relationships with CIOs and tax executives, ensuring ongoing business success. I have consistently exceeded sales targets for three consecutive years, established strategic partnerships with industry giants such as SAP, Oracle and PwC, and significantly improved customer retention and satisfaction rates.

Fluent in Portuguese and English, with advanced proficiency in Spanish, I am a fast learner and a proactive problem solver who thrives in dynamic market conditions. My leadership and business skills were enhanced by completing the International Management Development Program at IESE Business School in Spain in 2023.
