ABOUT ME

A professional and intellectual shaped by a family legacy deeply tied to commercial and industrial refrigeration. Over more than two decades of continuous work, he has built a career marked by technological innovation, energy efficiency, and a commitment to professional training. With 21 years of business experience and teaching since 2009, he has established himself as a national reference in the commercial refrigeration sector, distinguished by the development of highly complex projects, the implementation of sustainable technological solutions, and the dissemination of specialized technical knowledge. His work has significantly contributed to the modernization of Brazil's productive sector, especially in the fields of automation and remote system monitoring. He is the founder and director of VEX and Visão Refrigeração, organizations that serve more than a thousand companies throughout the country, offering innovative solutions for energy performance optimization and sustainability. In this context, he conceived the Cooling as a Service (CaaS) model, a pioneering concept proposing the servitization of refrigeration as a modern strategy aligned with contemporary demands for technological management and environmental responsibility. Demonstrating a high commitment to technical education and the dissemination of applied knowledge, he donated his labor in full to set up the first commercial refrigeration laboratory in the Center-North region, in partnership with one of the world's largest manufacturers in the sector — an initiative that expanded access to technology and strengthened regional professional training. In 2025, he launched the VEX educational platform, aimed at training professionals capable of operating and implementing the most advanced technologies applied to commercial and industrial refrigeration, contributing to the continuous qualification of the market and the dissemination of technical knowledge on a national scale. Throughout his career, his initiatives have resulted in savings of over 1 GWh of electricity in Brazil, equivalent to the approximate monthly consumption of 6,250 households, highlighting the technical, economic, and environmental impact of his work.
