16
YEARS

I entered college at 17, actually it was at 16!

In fact, I started when I was 16, I was always ahead in school and obviously I never repeated a year, I turned 17 during the first year of the course. I always really liked technology and innovation. At the time of the entrance exam, the choice for the computing course could not be different. I have always been very fond of mathematics, statistics and logic. During graduation I did numerous internships in public and private institutions, as well as complementary technology courses to gain experience.

At 22 I moved to São Paulo and at 23 I earned U$ 40 thousand

I was formed and wanted to conquer the world. I decided to move from Santa Maria (RS) to São Paulo, to get to know the market. It was during this period that I participated in many events and had contact with startups, accelerators and IT companies, until I decided to create my own company in the cybersecurity sector.

In my first year as an entrepreneur, a surprise: I won $40,000 in an innovation competition called Startup Chile. Startups have innovation in their DNA, I discovered this in practice. I was somewhat lucky to start in a rising market - Cybersecurity - which would grow exponentially year after year with the epic episode of Edward Snowden.

I moved to Santiago in Chile.

At 24 I returned to Brazil, but to BH

Another 80 thousand. This was the SEED (Startups and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development) award, a program created to foster innovative companies - startups - in the capital of Minas Gerais.

I moved to Belo Horizonte.

Once again the startup created was in thelist of the most innovative.

At 28 I moved to São Paulo again

With business moving forwardexponentially, I returned to São Paulo, this time with a lot of market experience and with the objective of attracting large clients and investors.

São Paulo is binary, you either love it or hate it. There's no middle ground. In my case, I love the frenzy of São Paulo. It's a city made for doing business - which I've always loved to do. In this yearI became a teacherMBA in the disciplines of strategic planning, entrepreneurship and innovation at Laureate International Universities.

I returned to live in São Paulo.
