As Head of HRBP for Corporate & Operations, I lead a team of 10 HRBPs supporting our COO, CFO, CLO and their organizations across Latin America.

In my role at Nubank, I was responsible for leading recruitment efforts for Engineering, Product, Design, and Data Science across Brazil, the USA, and Germany, playing a key role in shaping the organization’s talent acquisition strategy. I managed a team of over 20 managers and recruiters, with indirect oversight of sourcers and candidate experience teams supporting these areas. As the Talent Acquisition focal point for Nubank’s CPO and CTO, I supported hiring-related matters within the Global Products and Platforms leadership team. I was directly involved in the creation and scaling of the Talent Acquisition team, which grew more than 10x between 2019 and 2022. I built and scaled the recruitment process that expanded the Product and Design teams from 50 employees in February 2019 to over 600 by 2024. I also played a key role in hiring the first members of the Design and Product teams in Mexico and Colombia. Additionally, I founded and led the Early Talent area, responsible for hiring over 150 interns since 2023, achieving a conversion rate significantly above industry benchmarks. During my time at Nubank, the company scaled from ~1,000 to over 8,000 employees and went through a successful IPO. My areas maintained a 92% offer acceptance rate, with an average time to hire of 45 days, and over 90% of hiring managers responded "yes" on the 90-day rehire survey. More recently, I led the Engineering Hiring Revamp project, which established mechanisms for maintaining and advancing the technical bar and hiring quality in the engineering domain. Through this initiative, we developed the roles of Technical Anchor and Veto Power Policy, and increased senior engineer engagement in hiring from 40% to 85%.

Sicredi is Brazil's first financial cooperative, serving over 8 million members nationwide through more than 2,700 branches, with a workforce of 45,000 employees across 22 states and the Federal District. Sicredi was classified in the GPTW ranking as the Best Company to Work For, and for 9 consecutive years we were among the 150 Best Companies to Work For, according to the magazine Você S/A. In my role at Sicredi, I led a tech and non-tech recruitment team of 8 people, responsible for hiring for the shared services center, which had approximately 2,000 employees. My biggest challenge during this period was scaling the tech recruitment process for Woop Sicredi, the digital platform being developed at the time, and leading a significant project to define and implement a new ATS to be used by all 200 cooperatives across Brazil.

Indigo is a global leader in parking management and individual mobility, operating in over 500 cities across 10 countries. In Brazil, we manage more than 370 operations in 97 cities across 24 states and the Federal District, with a global workforce of over 9,000 employees—4,700 of whom are in Brazil. During my time at Indigo, I was responsible for a team of 12 people overseeing the high-volume hiring process for operations and business areas. I also managed Talent Management, with a primary focus on onboarding processes and leadership development.
