About

Master in Auditing and Business Management, with an MBA in Business Intelligence and International Business, I have been working in the Foreign Trade area for over 15 years. I work as a professor, lecturer and consultant in strategic management in export and/or import processes. I am Co-founder and Director of Strategy at OMNI Global Group, with the role of auditing, structuring and operationalizing the import and/or export processes, generating significant economic and financial results. Project manager, Specialist in Foreign Trade, Business Internationalization and Strategic Planning are my greatest skills. I am a specialist consultant in the area of International Business, working mainly on the following topics: procedures, import, import on behalf of third parties, special regime and export. For 3 years I lived in the United States, and I had the opportunity to be at the forefront of actions for the internationalization of foreign companies. I developed products and partnerships in Asia, Europe, Africa, USA and Mercosur. I was Co-founder of Bellite Global Corporation, a North American company, responsible for internationalization programs such as the SAFELANDING PROGRAM. In the area of import and export, I structured companies and acquired for them the Tax Benefit related to the ICMS on imports granted by the State of Santa Catarina. In export, I coordinated the structuring of the exchange sector, the export processes of a large company and all its cargo release in Brazilian ports. During my time at Sebrae, I implemented 10 internationalization projects, including ExportaSC, with SEBRAE/SC, in the modeling, preparation, structuring and monitoring of more than 200 companies from Santa Catarina in accessing new foreign markets. In the area of education, I created, coordinated and taught classes in the Foreign Trade Course at Escola Técnica Geração. I was a professor in several opportunities of disciplines focused on Foreign Trade. I was an instructor in the Foreign Trade course for Managers of Air Cargo Terminals throughout Brazil, the so-called TECA's of INFRAERO. I am a lecturer and professor of Foreign Trade at ABRACOMEX. Throughout my career, I have been able to get to know different cultures and to develop skills to connect people and companies, win new customers, partner relationships, contribute to the development of teams and generate value for the entire business chain.
