I'm a co-founder of K21, where I've been working with agile and digital transformations of companies ranging from startups to multinationals. I'm a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), an Accredited Kanban Trainer (AKT) and was a member of the Scrum Alliance Board of Directors from 2015 to 2017. I have a Master’s in Business and a Computer Engineering degree. I've been working with Agile and Scrum since the mid 2000’s.

My company and I have helped thousands of people change their careers and dozens of companies become more efficient and effective, transforming themselves into better places to work. I have personally trained over 8,500 Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Agile Coaches and I've done training and coaching in over 20 countries, including USA, Brazil, Spain, Peru, Colombia, India, Hong Kong, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, UK and many others.

I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently. I'm used to speaking in events around the globe, including Scrum Gatherings and major agile events. By traveling and interacting with different communities and cultures I've got a global view on how knowledge work is being done worldwide, what the main challenges are and ideas on how one can get around them.

Working with agile adoptions and training in different segments for the past decades brought me the knowledge and experience to write and publish, in 2013, the first book about Scrum written in Portuguese. Its updated third edition was published in early 2022. It is today a well known reference in Brazil.
