Bio
Joanna LaFrancesca
I've had the pleasure of working with Brendan at Woolf, an ed-tech start-up. Brendan is one of those rare individuals who is the right balance of professional, positive and passionate. His energy is contagious and he is a true joy to work with. He naturally puts both clients and colleagues at ease and is fully committed to the team. It's great watching him interact with clients, seamlessly navigating sales conversations in three different languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish). I highly recommend Brendan for any client facing role, and would be glad to work with him again.
Ed Byrne
Brendan is an intelligent and customer focused individual who'll be a great asset for any projects that he's involved with. Brendan is analytical in his approach, embraces coaching and is not afraid to question the status quo in order to improve processes and his own personal growth. I look forward to our paths crossing again.

Environmental Project Manager
-
Dec 2020 - Nov 2021
During the pandemic I returned to Brazil and ran a local environmental project for a cause that I am passionate about. I worked alongside local public and private organizations with the intention of creating “Green Corridors”, offering the local fauna more habitat and food, giving them a better chance to coexist with men. I grew from seed and planted more than 300 native fruit trees. During the pandemic I returned to Brazil and ran a local environmental project for a cause that I am passionate about.
