Conheço o Pedro como pessoa, acadêmico e profissional, por isto o recomendo para qualquer posição na academia ou no mercado. A motivação desta solida confiança está enraizada numa convivência iniciada há mais de três anos e continua até hoje. Meu primeiro contato com ele foi em 2018 durante o curso avançado em avaliação de impacto de políticas públicas oferecido pela Fundação Itaú Social em SP. Por atuarmos no mesmo grupo, pude conhecer de perto suas qualidades como pesquisador em econômia. Para além do curso, enquanto Diretora de Estudos de Gestão Publica no IPECE, pude acompanhar o trabalho do Pedro na condução do planejamento orçamentário da Plataforma Ceará 2050. Que mais uma vez foi pautado pela excelência e criatividade. Através da elaboração de estudos sobre gasto público, reports sobre cenário econômico, textos orientativos versando, por exemplo, sobre a necessidade de incorporar métricas de análise de risco no PPA e do desenvolvimento de um modelo de otimização dinâmica para auxiliar na resolução do problema de escolha referente a ordenação da execução da carteira de projetos, o Pedro colaborou fortemente para a exequibilidade e governança do Plano Ceará 2050 Em razão de tantas entregas, indiquei-o para a posição de pesquisador associado ao observatório do federalismo brasileiro, centro de pesquisa conectado a SEPLAG-CE. Nesta capacidade ele atuou numa pesquisa sobre as famílias beneficiárias do cartão Mais Infância. Para além das qualidades técnicas, o Pedro desempenha um ótimo papel em equipe, é cooperativo por natureza, o que torna o trabalho mais leve e o enfrentamento de problemas muito mais fácil. Dado seu caráter e simpatia, ele deixa amizades por onde passa, comigo não foi diferente.
