Project management specialist delivering agile programs and process improvements with data-driven governance and measurable results.
What I'm looking for
I’m a project management professional with over 7 years of experience leading end-to-end initiatives in complex, fast-changing environments. I specialize in building operational predictability through governance, risk management, scope control, scheduling, KPIs, and executive reporting.
I’ve managed budgets of up to BRL 8M and cross-functional teams of up to 15 people, aligning delivery to OKRs and strategic prioritization. I structure data-driven operations using process mapping and optimization (AS-IS/TO-BE), applying continuous improvement frameworks like PDCA, DMAIC, and Lean.
In my most recent role as a Project Management Specialist (EMBAIXADORES DA EDUCAÇÃO, 07/2025–01/2026), I simultaneously ran two projects and led a 6-person team with a BRL 300K budget. I designed governance (RACI), standardized tools, and partnered with IBM on operational redesign—driving completions from 12 to 500 in the first month while delivering 100% within timeline, scope, and budget.
Previously at FUNDAÇÃO ESTUDAR (10/2019–07/2024), I coordinated operational structuring and continuous improvement across a nationwide organization. I reduced a critical process cycle time by 50% (6 to 3 weeks), delivered 100% of strategic goals (OKRs) with 27% cumulative KPI growth, and supported initiatives including a Salesforce project and a Generative AI (LLM)-based initiative connecting discovery to solution validation.
