About

With over 10 years of work experience in the fields of energy, sustainability, and innovation, I am passionate about creating positive social and environmental impact through technology and entrepreneurship. As the VP of Energy and Sustainability at MIT Technology Review Brazil, I lead the editorial and strategic direction of the magazine, covering the latest trends and developments in clean energy, green economy, climate change, and circular economy. I also manage the partnerships and events related to these topics, engaging with key stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and civil society. In addition, I am a market relationship coordinator at LabrInTOS, a research lab at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, where I support the development and implementation of innovative solutions for smart cities, energy efficiency, and waste management. I was also a champion of the MIT REAP program, a global initiative that helps regions accelerate their economic growth and social progress through innovation-driven entrepreneurship. I have a PhD in Management and Innovation from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, an executive education in Innovation Ecosystems from MIT Sloan School of Management, and a master's and a bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and Economics, respectively, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I have skills in strategy, business strategy, and startups, and I have published multiple papers and articles on energy and sustainability issues. I am motivated by the vision of building a more sustainable and inclusive future for Brazil and the world, and I value collaboration, diversity, and learning.
