I am a Pharma & Life Sciences executive with +25 years of international experience across operations, supply chain, quality, business transformation, technology, and commercial leadership.
Throughout my career, I have driven strategic impact within global organizations including Novartis, Bayer, Alcatel, Bausch-Lomb, and Renault-Nissan, alongside leading enterprises as CEO, Board Member, and Founder.
My leadership model bridges corporate scale with entrepreneurial grit:
• Corporate & Market Expansion: As Head of the Brazilian Market / Operational Excellence Project Manager for Farma Mondo SA, I established and led the local operation of a Swiss pharmaceutical distributor, building the team, driving local S&OP, and scaling it into a primary government supplier while exceeding revenue targets by 15%+ annually.
• Entrepreneurial Execution & Supply Chain Architecture: Founded and scaled Caffè e Vino da Mello, a multi-unit enterprise across 3 locations growing to 1.8M BRL in annual revenue. I held end-to-end P&L ownership, designed the complete supply chain, procurement, and inventory control systems, and implemented digital POS platforms and SOP playbooks that drove double-digit margin growth.
I specialize in translating complex international challenges into practical strategies, operational execution, and measurable results. My background combines deep domain expertise in GxP/GMP/GDP environments, cold-chain operations, and logistics with a passion for integrating cutting-edge technologies—such as AI/ML, RPA, and predictive analytics—into core business strategies.
A truly global mindset shapes my leadership: having visited over 20 countries and capable of communicating in 6 languages (Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish, French, and German), I have led cross-functional programs with professionals spanning over 140 nationalities, managing executive steering committees and multi-million-budget portfolios.
