I've been working with business software for 17 years, from developing business games to implementing SAP SuccessFactors.
As a manager, I led the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central project at Petrobras, coordinated various platform projects, implemented the HR module in ServiceNow, and recently, applied the SAFe methodology for HR technology management and implementation. I also gained HR experience as a business partner and process designer at Petrobras.
Before that, at COPPE/UFRJ, I helped design, develop and run the Desafio Sebrae business game. It was a for college students that reached hundreds game of thousands of players in South America. It was so fun!
My goal is to deliver software that improves, smartens and (why not) enlivens the business process.

Fifteen years ago, coming from Lean Thinking and Portfolio Management, I jumped into the agile world with my entire body.
I went through more than 200 agile projects and contributed to several communities. Ten years ago, as a member of the PMI, I contributed to creating the PMI ACP Certification, which left considerable space for improvement.
Five years ago, I was asked by Mike Beedle to join his project on Enterprise Scrum. Unfortunately, Mike passed away, and I used my org development and behavioral analysis research to write my first book in 2020, "The New Normal: AO concepts and patterns of 21-st century agile organizations," and "Swarming X4" in 2021.
I'm a certified agile master coach with several agile certifications levels, still interacting with many initiatives on the evolution of work.
I don't distinguish between development and an executive committee of a global organization.
In 2014, I created Play14 (www.play14.org) with two colleagues, a global initiative on facilitation and serious games.
Even if I'm a full-time consultant, I'm still involved in Disciplined Agile with the PMI, with Open Eyes on the evolution of leadership, and with the ICF on agile coaching.
I’m an alumni of Boston Consulting Group and MIT.
