    Product Manager, Power Systems

    IBM

    I embarked on a dynamic career journey leading me to IBM, where I've dedicated over two decades to diverse roles. Beginning as an intern in 2004, I've navigated through Sales Operations, IT Strategy Consulting, and leadership in Systems Technical Sales, making significant contributions to various business units, including IBM Services and IBM Software Group. After leading the Lenovo Systems portfolio in Brazil after IBM's x86 spin-off, I returned to IBM in 2018 with leadership roles in IBM Systems for Latin America. Since 2020, I've been at the forefront of the worldwide business for IBM Power Systems. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I’ve co-founded two start-ups, proficient in three languages, with academic credentials including an MBA in Marketing, a graduate degree in Software Engineering, and a BSc in Business. Outside of work, I am happily married and a proud father of two boys. Having lived in 4 different cities and 12 different homes, I'm an enthusiast for traveling, swimming, and outdoor activities.

    When it comes to describing someone, even yourself, it can be difficult. This time it's easy. I grew up on the AS400, through iSeries, and into the IBM i world. Started on a model B50 (I know it was a B model) where the disk drive needed two persons to replace and now in the DevSecOps world showing that the IBM i development fits right in with Agile and DevSecOps. Showing that one can move on from green screen and into a modern mode of development. After spending over two decades with IBM, I now help Arcad Software in showing that DevSecOps on IBM i isn't all that scary.
