About me

I'm a Project Manager at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), originally from Brazil, working at the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and internationalization. I lead initiatives in digital transformation and external engagement, with a focus on redesigning operations to strengthen partnerships between academia, industry, and society — including alumni relations.

One of my key projects is implementing a CRM system to enhance collaboration, manage external networks, and support long-term partnership development. I also mentor student startups and stay actively involved in SproutUSN — our student incubator supporting early-stage ventures across campuses, including projects in autonomous systems, sensor technology, and digital services.

With a background in Business, Innovation and Technology Management, and Systems Engineering, I’ve spent the past decade leading projects where strategy meets technology. I apply systems thinking, service design, and CRM strategy to integrate new technology drivers, streamline operations, and support long-term business growth.
