Sony Maia
Software Engineering Leader @ Sicredi
About
I have extensive experience in the technology field, having started my career in software development and, over time, evolving into leadership roles focused on engineering, product, and organizational performance. Throughout my career, I have supported national and international companies in improving results through strong people leadership, process optimization, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement practices. I have contributed to key transformation initiatives such as: • Digital transformation at Magazine Luiza, supporting the organizational scaling from 70 to more than 700 technology professionals, with a strong focus on portfolio management and organizational structure. • Operational efficiency at Farfetch, where I supported teams in flow management and experimentation practices, helping reduce infrastructure costs and improve delivery predictability. • Business and organizational evolution at PagSeguro, where I supported the definition of strategic objectives, implementation of Flight Levels, team structuring, and end-to-end delivery governance. My work is guided by building strong teams, creating clarity through processes and metrics, and enabling organizations to deliver value sustainably. I believe leadership is about empowering people, aligning technology with business goals, and creating environments where teams can consistently perform at their best.
