What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in O&M or asset management where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, optimize availability and costs, drive reliability programs, and deliver measurable operational improvements in renewables.

I am an O&M and Asset Management professional with 13+ years focused on wind and solar energy operations in Brazil and South America. I lead multidisciplinary teams and manage CAPEX/OPEX, contracts, and high-availability programs that improve performance and reliability.

As a PMP® certified manager, I have led operations of wind farms over 600MW, implementing reliability programs that reduced recurring failures by 15% and sustained operational availability exceeding 97%. I apply Agile, Hybrid, and Predictive methodologies to deliver strategic outcomes.

I have experience managing OPEX and CAPEX, retrofits and upgrades totaling over 1GW, and delivering up to 12% annual OPEX savings through planning, contract renegotiation, and process optimization. I prioritize safety, compliance (EHS, ISO 45001), and continuous improvement (PDCA, 5 Why, Lean).

I am committed to operational excellence, stakeholder engagement, and measurable results—optimizing asset performance, minimizing downtime, and ensuring cost-effective service delivery across multinational operations.
