• Shifting gears to a new challenge - Senior Technical Leader at Oracle Fusion Apps Partner Support

  • Jan 2013 - Dec 2018

  We were recently moved to a new office and our team was being split into two, one group was kept with the same duties and another group, including me were assuming new responsibilities. I had to learn and develop new skills on the fly and instead of being scared it was excited cause I practiced that in parallel with the external experiences at Herbalife and Monavie.That was when I first got into the Cloud world, shifting from a product provider to a service and customer experience provider. I was engaged in the CX world with Oracle Sales Cloud and also in HR world with Oracle Cloud HCM. I was helping partners learning how to implement and activate Oracle Sales Cloud and Oracle Cloud HCM and also how to integrate with both solutions. After a couple of months I started focusing only on Oracle Cloud HCM and became the focal point for the partners in Latin America.During this new change I decided to take a creativity course I felt somehow this would help me moving forward in my career. That was when I met one of the greatest mentors and friend Murilo Gun. In parallel another great friend and also a mentor, Leo Veri, introduced me to Design Thinking.

• Developing and practicing entrepreneurship skills - Reseller Leader

  • Nov 2012 - Oct 2015

  When I was consuming and selling Herbalife, a friend of mine started to approach me, before I was able to seat and talk to him I discovered two great mentors on Nutrition. The first one was Shawn Talbott the author of Secret of Vigor Diet where he talked about the 4 basic chemical reactions that we need to manage in our bodies such as oxidation, glycation, inflammation and metabolic balance, and how Nutrition played an important role on that 4 pillars. The second mentor was Mark Mac Donald founder of Venice Nutrition and author of Body Confidence where he shares a strategy to build metabolic balance. Both were part of the Monavie scientific team and were supporting the creation of the nutrition products and I decided to join the company, to test the Nutrition strategy and I knew based on the past experience that naturally, people were going to ask and selling something that I consume and believe was a natural path. That was a great time on improving my physical and mental health proving the theories of Secret of Vigor diet and Venice Nutrition. From a direct seller career perspective was also a great experience where I was able to build a team, create communities around health life style. In October 2015 Monavie was bought by Jeunesse Global, since them I am still consuming some of the products but the advanced Nutrition ones are not fully in Brazil yet so I decided to maintain as consumer but not investing time as a direct seller.

• Adjusting my compass - Senior Technical Leader

  • Dec 2008 - Apr 2010

  When I was at college my dream was to join and work at IBM, in 2008 EDS was being acquired by HP, when I got a call from a friend that worked with me at EDS inviting me for an opportunity at IBM. I had no doubt about and accepted the challenge. My open door at IBM was a project with lots of challenges at all levels and if I helped to overcome the challenges the plan was to transition me a more strategic role as I was playing at EDS. At IBM I met great people and learned a lot from that experience we had to work on improving team confidence and show IBM leaders and customer that they were delivering quality results. After one year of hard work we regain team confidence, leadership and customer trust and my intuition was saying that the result might had an impact on my plans inside IBM, as the entire team had conquer a brand of overcoming complex customer challenges. One day I was leaving a customer meeting when I got a call from a friend from Oracle offering an opportunity to join a global team responsible to enable partners on Oracle solutions and he needed help to have someone experienced to work with regional partners in Latin America. I felt I had accomplished the project goal and having a transparent conversation with my leaders at IBM and listening to my intuition I decided to join Oracle.

• Preparing to another shift - Senior Information Specialist

  • Jan 2004 - Dec 2005

  After 2003 failure at OnStar I was given a new chance to go back to US at General Motors headquarters for a Business Intelligence project. My role was to gather requirements for the ETL piece of the project and come back to Brazil and work in the implementation of it. I was supposed to spend one month there and end up spending 6 months due to the complexity of the process interviewing the customer and helping them on understanding all the different data sources, data formats and come up with a solution to consolidate that in a way that could be possible automated. That was a life changing experience being able to live for 6 months abroad, living like local, learning new culture, interacting with different people from different places around the world.

• Consolidating as a tech leader - Senior Information Specialist

  • Jan 2000 - Dec 2003

  In year 2000 General Motors was launching a new model in Brazil, Celta, and that was the first eCommerce experience for an auto company in the country. I was sent with two colleagues for a month to Detroit where we would be trained to develop one of the eCommerce features. Being abroad for the first time was exciting at the same time quite challenging, different culture a completely different environment it was a great experience. A fun facts to share about this is that even taking English classes and graduating I was not able to order a simple #1 meal at Mc Donald's in downtown Detroit. The lesson learned was theory is great but real life experience are transformative.I came back to Brazil, kept developing the feature and training other people so we could bring the eCommerce operation over here. In 2002 the eCommerce had a huge upgrade integrating with GM back end systems and we were invited to lead a team of more than 60 developers for that upgrade. In 2003 I went back to US to work on OnStar migration from analogic to digital technology the idea was to learn and get the operation to Brazil, I was not successful on that and the lesson learned is that I still had a lot to learn in terms of relationship development and also self knowledge and how to reestablish balance when my ego is higher than my humility.Achievements: Successful delivery of awarded business to consumer web site for General Motors BrazilEvaluated as EDS top performer year 2002 Show less
