Técnica em geologia, funcionária da Petrobras há 11 anos, me formei em Psicologia em 2019, logo antes do nascimento da minha filha.

Me encontrei profissionalmente ao voltar da licença maternidade e encontrar a agilidade, na forma de kanban e scrum, em um empresa mudada após a pandemia. Eram as ferramentas que faltavam para potencializar a minha incapacidade de permanecer indiferente perante as dificuldades que encontrava nos processos por onde passei.

Apaixonada por problemas, o próximo passo foi me aproximar das facilitações de Workshops, ao ser apresentada ao Design Flow, por descobrir o poder que tem colocar todos juntos no mesmo local ao mesmo tempo, com objetivos e instruções claras!

Depois de receber o convite para compor o time recém criado de Inovação pude considerar finalizada a minha transição de carreira!

I consider myself to be an Agile and Lean Enthusiast navigating Automotive Transformation challenges and helping OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers to deliver business value faster. With courage, passion and delight I drive Agility in the most complex environment of automotive embedded systems.
My vision is to help Automotive industry to reinvent itself and solve its toughest challenges by tapping into the power of Lean-Agile Transformation.
My mission is to be a strong change agent and to generate a critical mass of Lean and Agile leaders, capable to drive the change in Automotive by creating empowered cross-functional self-organizing teams, embracing the concept of value stream and flow and taking an active role in removing transformation roadblocks.
Dedicating my entire career path Automotive challenges, I started my agile journey at the Daimler's corporate incubator and innovation hub "Daimler Business Innovation", known as "Lab 1886”. Later on I was a strong catalyst of Scaled Agile Transformation at the Digital Solution Center at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA, bringing energy, fun and delight to the first Agile Release Train. After that as part of Engineering leadership team I shaped Lean-Agile Transformation journey for Advanced Safety and User Experience product line at Aptiv, helping large co-located and distributed engineering program teams to leverage the benefits of lean and agile principles in complex embedded system environment.
