As a Senior Vice President and member of the Global Industrial Automation and North American Executive Leadership Team, I lead the Industrial Automation business in the North America.

With more than two decades of expertise, I've focused my mission and passion on the future. Specifically, I've concentrated on how we can make our buildings and industries more efficient, resilient, and sustainable through digital and automation—all while decarbonizing in the process.

I've held several key positions in Software and Industrial Automation since joining Schneider Electric in 2010, including leading the Process Automation & Software Hub in Brazil. In 2018, I relocated to the USA as Global VP of Industrial Automation, driving end-user and software go-to-market efforts across the globe. Most recently, I served as SVP Digital Buildings Business, establishing the business globally and locally, guiding key transformations and acquisitions.

Prior to Schneider Electric, I co-founded and remain a board member of Lar Plásticos, a market leader in circular economy in Brazil. As an expert in IoT (Internet of Things), I launched my career with SoftBrasil and, later, co-founded Envisia Gerenciamento de Ativos, an IoT asset management company. I'm also a board member of Clockworks Analytics.

I hold a BS in Electronic Engineering, an MBA, and recently completed the Advanced Management Program (AMP) at MIT Sloan School of Management.

I enjoy skiing, playing tennis, and playing the violin (not at the same time). I love to cook, and luckily, I also love to eat good food.

I currently reside in Boston, Massachusetts.
