What I'm looking for

Seeking a remote senior role in learning strategy or advisory, where I diagnose what capability a business needs, whether learning is the right lever, and how to measure it. 12+ years in enterprise learning, 4 at Udemy leading complex accounts, working in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

At Udemy, I shape AI-readiness strategies that translate organizational goals into the roles, capability gaps, and job-specific measures that define workforce readiness. Recent work includes an eight-job-family readiness strategy for 1,000+ people at a Fortune 100 IT organization and a three-year AI-literacy engagement for a major US health insurer.

I own engagements from discovery through delivery, and have been strategy lead on 75+ won engagements across industries. At Austral Education Group, I launched an internal partner-matching platform that reached 1,200+ users across 28 countries and cut the partnership-sourcing cycle from six months to 30 days.
