Senior Engineering Manager & Atlassian Leader

As an Atlassian tooling expert, I’ve driven sales, pre-sales, and business development, expanding Atlassian’s presence in Europe and Latin America as Head of Atlassian Pre-Sales.
I bring 10 years of Engineering Management experience, including 5 years leading multicultural and cross-functional global teams, fostering collaboration and innovation. My career was shaped in roles at iG, Accenture, Atlassian partners, and MIRO, delivering impactful digital transformations. My academic background includes an MBA in IT Management from FIAP and a master’s extension from the University of La Verne, USA.
As a thought leader, I’ve co-authored books on OKRs and technology strategies, authored immigration books on Amazon, and hosted podcasts on immigration and mental health. I’m a frequent speaker at Brazilian conferences and volunteer in STEM, entrepreneurship, and youth economics initiatives.
