VC & Entrepreneurial Experience: I was Innovation Strategy Lead at 500 Global, a Silicon Valley-based VC and then I became an entrepreneur and was accelerated by Antler, another global VC focused primarily on B2B SaaS. I've lived and worked in North and South America, in the Middle East, in Europe and now the UK. I speak English, Portuguese, French and Spanish fluently and have deep networks in the Paris, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and London ecosystems. I focus in the following areas: AI (especially generative AI), climate tech, health tech, and fintech. I am especially interested in AI-driven automation, sustainable innovations, and ethical digital finance solutions. I am working with a Menlo Park-based VC launching its first fund and scouting for a London-based VC. In addition to consulting, I am a board member to 3 startups.
