Heitor Marson

With a career spanning over 15 years in technology and industrial solutions, I specialize in driving the convergence between IT and OT (Operational Technology), focusing on areas such as industrial cybersecurity, virtual PLCs, i-UNS architectures, and industrial cloning technologies. Currently, I’m involved in projects that help large manufacturing companies optimize system resilience and operational efficiency—whether through reducing downtime, accelerating software validation processes, or strengthening cybersecurity postures. In parallel, I’m pursuing a Master's degree in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at Mackenzie Presbyterian University, with research centered on Magnetron Sputtering—a cutting-edge technique for thin-film deposition with applications in functional coatings and advanced material engineering. My academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from UFSCar and a degree in Mechanical Technology – Welding Processes from FATEC, providing me with a strong foundation in both systems thinking and manufacturing processes. I also hold a postgraduate degree in Corporate Finance (PUCRS), an MBA in Agribusiness (Esalq/USP), and an MTA in Industrial Management of Sugarcane Energy (UFSCar). Throughout my career—across multinational environments like Oracle and TomTom, as well as high-growth startups—I’ve built expertise in Go-to-Market strategy, C-Level engagement, and complex B2B sales cycles. I’ve worked extensively across Brazil, Latin America, and Portugal, always adapting strategies to regional contexts.
