CEO @ TRANSPES

About

Throughout my career, challenges have always been at the heart of my professional Journey — and innovation has been, and continues to be, the driving force behind my professional journey. I have worked with major national groups such as Monte Rodovias, CCR, and Camargo Corrêa Group (Mover), across the sectors of concessions, infrastructure, urban mobility, payment systems, and airports.My career has been built on three core pillars: business development, project management, communication, and sustainability. I take pride in having led initiatives that created value for companies, infrastructure, people, and communities — always with a strategic vision and the ability to identify opportunities even in highly complex scenarios.Over the years, I have developed solid expertise in corporate, institutional, and innovation communication, with a focus on brand management, image, and reputation. I was responsible for aligning policies and relationship strategies with governments, the media, and digital platforms across the 26 companies of the CCR Group, now known as Motiva.I have also gained extensive experience in corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and private social investment projects — connecting purpose and performance through partnerships and the effective use of incentive laws.I believe in the power of people and collaborative work. I strive to build diverse, engaged teams capable of exceeding goals and turning ideas into tangible results.I bring this experience to Transpes — a company with nearly six decades of history — with the purpose of driving its sustainable growth and strengthening its position as a logistics leader in Brazil. As a member of the Board of JOPE ISB, a Transpes Group company responsible for managing the Education PPP Inova BH and the Health PPP Saúde BH, I apply my nearly 30 years of expertise in concessions and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), contributing to the enhancement of governance and innovation in these operations.
