Welcome

Summary

I've spent more than 3 decades building technology businesses across Latin America — from starting Pure Storage's regional operation as employee #1, growing it from a greenfield to a leading market position in 12 years, to holding VP and GM roles at NetApp, Symantec, VERITAS and McAfee, and earlier at CA Technologies. My career spans Storage, Security, Virtualization and Systems Management, always with a focus on developing people, opening new markets, and delivering results in complex, multicultural environments.

I have a proven track record in strategic business planning, channel development, and building high-performance organizations across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Central America. Throughout my career I have consistently exceeded revenue targets, integrated acquired companies, restructured regional operations, and promoted a culture of ethics, teamwork and excellence.

I am a triple national (American, Italian, Brazilian), based in Miami since 2001, and fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish and Italian — with direct living and working experience in Brazil, the United States, Venezuela and Mexico. I hold an Executive MBA in Marketing from ESPM and a Bachelor of Science in Data Processing Technology from Universidade Mackenzie, both in São Paulo, Brazil.
