What I'm looking for

I’m seeking international opportunities where I can lead SAP and infrastructure transformation programs end-to-end—blending PMI, Agile, and governance—to deliver controlled scope, schedule, and stakeholder alignment across global time zones.

I’m an IT Project Manager, Scrum Master, and Product Manager with 32+ years of experience across infrastructure, software lifecycle, requirements, and complex enterprise programs. With 40,000+ project hours and strong PMI/Agile discipline, I lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver transformation initiatives on time and with controlled scope and schedules.

In my current role as SAP Sr. Project Manager at Lactalis Brazil, I manage a portfolio of 30+ SAP and infrastructure projects spanning supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution. I drive cross-functional delivery for new distribution centers, logistics network changes, SAP platform upgrades, and infrastructure modernization—integrating SAP environments with satellite systems, industrial automation, and enterprise infrastructure.

Earlier, I delivered cybersecurity and IT architecture initiatives in Agile delivery models (Azure, GCP, OCI, AWS, and on-prem), led large-scale migrations and cutover/hypercare support (including governance and tooling via Jira, Confluence, Qlik, and Helix), and strengthened service and operational foundations through ITSM with ServiceNow. I’m seeking international opportunities and I’m skilled at acclimating to various time zones while aligning IT delivery with business strategy.
