What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic IT, cybersecurity, program, portfolio, or PMO initiatives where I can strengthen governance, manage risk, improve delivery predictability, and apply AI to project management.

I've delivered more than 100 complex IT and information security projects, leading portfolios exceeding R$20 million and multicultural teams of more than 50 professionals.

At Equinix, I led global and local security projects across Brazil, the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, and Japan. I managed cybersecurity initiatives involving Exabeam, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Tenable.io, Delinea, SIEM, pentesting, vulnerability remediation, network segmentation, ransomware, and RunZero.

I structured and automated Jira workflows to improve executive visibility, delivery predictability, and portfolio governance, while coordinating audits aligned with NIST-CSF, ISO 27001, ISO 31000, and ISO 37301.

Across Unisys, Módulo Security Solutions, CPqD, and independent consulting, I've built PMOs, improved SLAs from 70% to 92%, implemented security governance, led fraud-prevention projects using neural networks, and delivered biometric passport solutions. I'm currently advancing my work with AI applied to project management.
