I grow macro multi-market funds through quantitative investment strategies and risk management.

Brazil
Message

At Banco Santander/SAM and Western Asset Management in Brazil, I led macro multi-market funds and grew AUM from BRL 0.2 billion to BRL 2.0 billion and from BRL 0.75 billion to BRL 3.0 billion, respectively. I use macroeconomic analysis, quantitative models, and portfolio stress testing to guide investment decisions across rates, FX, commodities, equities, and corporate credit.

Earlier at Credit Suisse/CSAM, I managed portfolios and delivered macroeconomic research for emerging markets, including serving as Chief Economist for Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama. I build forecasting models and decision dashboards in Python, R, SQL, Excel/VBA, Power BI, and Tableau, translating complex market data into actionable investment insights.
