Speaking
Keynotes for rooms
that have to decide,
not just discuss.
I speak about what happens where complexity meets decision — for boards, executive teams, and conferences that want their audience to leave with sharper judgment, not just notes. In English or Portuguese. Always the same promise: clarity in complex decisions.
Signature themes
Four themes.
One promise.
- 01
Deciding under uncertainty.
Why confident organizations are built, not born — and what boards can control when the environment can't be controlled.
- 02
AI in the boardroom.
From briefing topic to governance capability: what directors must understand, ask, and own.
- 03
Weigh the past, choose the future.
Succession and generational transition in family businesses — the decision every family company faces exactly once per generation.
- 04
The builder's view of innovation.
Venture thinking inside established organizations — told by someone who backs, builds, and governs.
Beyond the four
Beyond the signature four — innovation and innovation strategy · connecting governance to growth, fundraising, and financial sustainability · change and transformation — among others. Every keynote is tailored to the room; all converge on the same promise: clarity in complex decisions.
