PROFILE

From automotive operations to decision-oriented intelligence.

My career has developed across technical support, dealer networks, warranty, parts, importers, regional aftersales, B2B sales, business development and operational transformation.

This background allows me to understand day-to-day operational realities, connect them with market dynamics and identify the information, tools and decisions required to move forward.

My value lies in connecting strategic business requirements with operational realities and the structured information required for better decisions.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Four experiences that shaped how I think and work.

Digitizing before it became a trend

Digitizing before it became a trend

I developed a tool to organize technical issues, warranty, support and parts requests when processes were still managed manually and by fax.

Lesson: Technology creates value when it solves a specific operational problem.
Connecting importer and dealer network

Connecting importer and dealer network

At CINASCAR, I designed an importer–dealer intranet integrating orders, warranty, parts, support and training.

Lesson: Information matters when it reaches the people responsible for acting on it.
Managing regional complexity

Managing regional complexity

Working across different markets showed me that the same operating model can produce different results depending on the context. Expectations, resources, capabilities and local conditions can influence outcomes as much as the process itself.

Lesson: Before applying a model, it is essential to understand the reality of each market, client or company. My approach begins with that understanding, adapting solutions rather than imposing preconceived formulas.
Transforming experience into intelligence

Transforming experience into intelligence

Drive Tech Advisors represents the evolution from individual implementations toward studies, methods and decision systems.

Lesson: The objective is not to accumulate data, but to understand what it means and decide the next move.
