Speaker Biography
I believe passionately that business can drive global sustainability. For 20+ years I have had the pleasure of creating value at the intersection of business, government, and society. Working for leading global sustainability institutions, I have managed programs in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, EU, Canada and the US.

In 200+ projects for sector leaders in agriculture (Dow, JBS, Bayer, Amaggi), B2B (GE, Hitachi), consumer products (Natura, Nike, PepsiCo), extractives (Alcoa, Exxon, Vale), finance (Citibank, Itaú), ICT (IBM, Sony, Qualcomm), and pharmaceuticals (Abbott, Merck, Sanofi), I have tackled issues such as access to goods /services, climate, local development, stakeholder engagement, micro-finance, human rights, gender equality, nutrition, climate change, solid waste, & water.

In 2005, I co-founded a third successful enterprise REVER (meaning to “take another look” in Portuguese), a consultancy to support business to redefine value throughout operations. While at REVER, I have had the joy of working with like-minded, exceptional individuals eager to tackle the toughest challenges of our times.
