About
To create a better world, I believe that it's essential to foster strong connections among people. When meaningful relationships exist, work becomes more manageable and often feels like a gathering among friends. Therefore, my mission is to act as a facilitator of people's connections, empowering them to become catalysts for change. It's through this belief that I've embarked on a profound journey at Unilever for over two decades, consistently striving to create spaces for personal and collective growth and an expansion of awareness. From an engineer to a leader of people. From the supply chain to marketing. From working in procurement to branding. Even for a professional rooted in exact sciences, I must emphasise that human interaction serves as the cornerstone for building transformative connections. Today, I take great pride in representing the remarkable Brazil Nutrition operation at Unilever and enhancing the appeal of our brands, including Hellmann's, Arisco, Mãe Terra, Maizena and Knorr. I genuinely believe that it is through people and for people that we can manifest the transformation of the world into a better place, fostering healthier and more sustainable nutrition and generating the daily positive impact that the world and the environment so urgently require. Let's go together on this journey of relationships and transformations!
