I am a product management executive and entrepreneur, experienced in delivering products users love and leading cross-functional teams. My background has equipped me with a resilient "get-it-done" attitude and professional experiences across US / Brazil / China.

I'm currently working at Amazon in the Bay Area, leading a PM team to design and bring new innovative products to market. Most recently, I spent 4 years as CEO and co-founder of Lema21 Eyewear (called "Warby Parker of Brazil" by TechCrunch). We raised two rounds of venture capital and were awarded: Winner LatAm and 3rd place at Harvard New Venture Contest and Winner Most Innovative Site in Brazil at eAwards. In 2015, we merged Lema21 with our key competitor and became the largest eyewear eCommerce in Brazil. I moved into the role of Director of Product and Strategy and launched the first mobile eyewear retail platform in Brazil. In Dec 2015, we sold the combined company to Essilor (world’s third largest optics group, now merged with Luxottica).

Previously, I worked in Silicon Valley building an innovative scholarship search engine, ranked #1 by USA TODAY. My prior experience includes 3 years of management consulting in New York.

MBA from Harvard and BS with honors in Mechanical Engineering (robotics) and Economics from Carnegie Mellon.
