About

My journey began with launching a successful EdTech startup in Brazil and led to a decade at Pearson, where I held executive roles as VP of Product and Strategic Partnerships. This path has been driven by a core belief: that education is the most powerful lever for human progress. Today, I'm compelled by the unprecedented opportunity to redefine education for the modern world. My current focus is on exploring new ventures and advising organizations that are creating more effective, equitable, and engaging learning experiences for all. I'm eager to connect with fellow innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors who share my passion for building the future of education. I have a Master’s in International Education Policy from the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), 2007; an MBA in Project Management from the Fundação Getúlio Vargas in Rio de Janeiro (FGV-RJ); and a Bachelor’s in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, 2003.
