What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product and platform strategy for AI, APIs, and digital platforms, combining product, engineering, architecture, governance, and people leadership to scale secure capabilities in complex regulated environments.

At Itaú Unibanco, I lead corporate GenAI integration capabilities that securely connect AI agents to enterprise services, supporting hundreds of use cases, thousands of users, and dozens of business areas.

I previously directed Itaú’s API platform strategy across API gateways, catalog, Developer Portal, Open Finance, Pix, and developer experience. This work supported thousands of APIs and billions of monthly requests, improving developer lead time by about 30%, increasing CSAT by 30%, and avoiding more than R$2 billion in costs through reuse.

I’ve grown from software engineering into product ownership, technical product management, and platform leadership in highly regulated financial environments. I lead multidisciplinary teams across Product and Engineering, setting OKRs, shaping roadmaps, and turning complex capabilities into secure, reusable platforms.

I also speak and mentor on APIs, Open Finance, Platform Engineering, and AI, bringing practical experience in automation, governance, developer experience, and AI-first product development.
