My research interests lie in the fields of strategic management and public administration. I've partnered with several companies, nonprofits, and governments to investigate how public and private actors can generate value together. I am particularly interested in the dynamics of impact-oriented strategies and cross-sector collaborations and how these arrangements can increase the performance of involved actors while enhancing social welfare. 

Currently, I am an Associate Professor of Strategy at the São Paulo School of Business Administration, Fundação Getúlio Vargas (EAESP-FGV). Between 2021 and 2023, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Government Outcomes Lab (GOLab, Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford). I hold a Ph.D. in Business Economics (2021) from Insper, São Paulo, and a B.A. in Economics from the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil (2015).

Before that, I lived during my childhood in my hometown, Uberaba (MG, Brazil), with my parents and big brother: the ones to whom I owe my aspiration to become a scholar. Traveling has always been a passion, whether for work or leisure, always with close friends. I've been to different corners of Brazil and hope to travel around every continent soon. Also, I lived in France twice (Toulouse, 2013-2014, and Paris, 2019-2020) and in Mexico for a couple of months (Guanajuato, 2015). Now I am in São Paulo with my beloved Carol (and since 2025, with our beloved Rubem).
