For over two decades, I’ve been delivering keynote speeches and presenting at major conferences around the world. My journey as a speaker began in 2000, and since then, I’ve had the privilege to share insights on Agile, Lean Inception, and digital transformation at global events.
Early Years (2000-2009)
My speaking career started in Silicon Valley (2000-2008), followed by India (2008-2010). During this period, I spoke at several industry-defining events, including:
Between 2000 and 2009, I averaged around two conference talks per year, focusing primarily on software development, Agile, and lean practices.
Brazil and Latin America (2010-2019)
In 2010, I moved back to Brazil, where my speaking engagements increased dramatically. I spoke at conferences across Brazil and neighboring countries, with frequent appearances each month. During this time, I also expanded my thought leadership through blogging and authoring multiple books.
From 2010 to 2019, I delivered talks at numerous local and regional events, maintaining a strong presence in the Brazilian and Latin American markets.
Global Keynote Speaker (Since 2015)
After relocating to Europe in 2019, I broadened my keynote speaking globally. Now, I often accept keynote invitations for large conferences, delivering talks on Agile methodologies, product management, and Lean Inception.
