Speaking
Decision-making, governance and leadership for decision-makers, with real stories and practical tools.
Each keynote opens and closes with a real case, includes a moment of reflection for the audience and delivers four to five tools to use the next day. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes for business owners, board members and professionals, and are currently delivered in Portuguese.
Keynotes
Numbers Lie (And So Do You)
Cognitive biases in financial decisions: why correct numbers lead to wrong choices, and how to protect a decision from the people who read them.
From Consultant to Board Member
A consultant is brought in to answer a specific need, with a defined scope and timeline. A board advisor stays with the company over time, asks the questions no one has asked and answers, independently, for the quality of decisions about its direction. A keynote on that shift in role and posture.
The Leader's Dilemma in the AI Era: Cooperate or Compete?
Game theory and the prisoner's dilemma applied to leadership, with innovation framed as a coordination problem and observations from SXSW 2026.
Irrational Growth: Why Profitable Companies Destroy Themselves, and How to Prevent It

The Antifragile Board Member: Making Decisions That Survive Chaos

SXSW and what comes next.
I attended SXSW 2026 in Austin and turned what I saw into essays and into the keynote on the leader's dilemma in the AI era. In preparation: a keynote on Nobel-winning economic theories and the businesses they gave rise to, designed for stages in Brazil and abroad.
