About me: I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and hold a bachelors in Business Administration from FECAP.
Before joining London Business School, I built my career in technology, growth and product management, most recently leading AI products at Itaú Unibanco, Latin America’s largest bank. Alongside my corporate career, I’ve also taught AI and product management to postgraduate students and professionals in Brazil.
As a first-generation university graduate, pursuing an MBA abroad has been a long-standing ambition. I chose London Business School for its diverse community, strong connections to the technology industry, and the opportunity to explore new career paths in London. I’m particularly passionate about AI, entrepreneurship and technology.
Outside the classroom, I’m a huge football fan and try my best playing for London Business School’s Football Club. I also enjoy travelling, discovering new cuisines and meeting people from different backgrounds.
Three topics I can be approached about: Careers in technology and AI; fintech ecosystem; moving to London as an international student.
