What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT leadership role driving digital transformation and SAP programs, in a company valuing regulatory compliance, clear KPIs, cross-functional collaboration, and measurable ROI.

I am a Senior IT professional with over 20 years leading digital transformation, large-scale ERP implementations (SAP ECC and S/4HANA, Sankhya-W), and multidisciplinary teams across Pharmaceutical, Transportation, Agribusiness, and Health Plans sectors.

I have directed programs with CAPEX/OPEX oversight exceeding R$100M, delivered a zero-disruption SAP S/4HANA GO LIVE, and optimized operations to improve uptime, reduce downtime by 25%, and increase projected revenues.

I focus on aligning IT strategy with business objectives, ensuring regulatory compliance (ANVISA, LGPD), improving governance through SLAs and KPIs, and developing high-performance teams to maximize ROI and operational resilience.
