With over 20 years of professional experience—15 of which dedicated to team leadership—I have built my career on continuous development and a strong commitment to delivering consistent results. I currently serve as a Laboratory Manager at Grupo Geo, where I have found an environment aligned with my purpose of sharing knowledge and growing professionally.
I hold a degree in Environmental Chemistry from UTFPR, along with MBAs in People Management from FGV and Business Management. I have also completed specializations in Supply Chain, Business Strategy, and Agile Methodologies. Additionally, I am certified as a Lead Assessor for ISO/IEC 17025, which is essential to ensuring quality and reliability in laboratories regulated by Inmetro.
After a career built through extensive study and hands-on experience, I joined Grupo Geo in 2021. Since then, my work has been directly related to delivering accurate and reliable data that impacts projects, ensures environmental compliance, and supports clients’ strategic decision-making.
Role and Responsibilities in the Laboratory
As a Laboratory Manager, I am responsible for ensuring that all stages of analytical processes are carried out with technical rigor and in accordance with required quality standards. This includes overseeing operational routines, providing technical support to the team, and ensuring that the results generated are consistent and reliable.
I also work on integrating different areas and teams, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge sharing and continuous professional development. I believe that engaged and well-guided teams are directly reflected in the quality of deliverables.
Impact of the Work in Project Contexts
The work carried out in the laboratory goes beyond technical execution. Each analysis directly contributes to projects involving safety, environmental responsibility, and strategic decision-making. The accuracy of the generated data is crucial to ensuring reliability and providing a solid technical foundation for clients’ operations.
Leadership and Purpose
Throughout my career, I have learned that leadership is not about having all the answers, but about creating the conditions for them to emerge. This mindset guides my daily work, especially in team development and in building an environment that balances technical excellence with valuing people.
Managing a laboratory means operating at the intersection of science and strategy—transforming data into decisions and challenges into opportunities. It is a role that demands responsibility, constant adaptability, and a forward-looking vision.
At Grupo Geo, I have found an environment where this purpose gains even greater meaning, is strengthened through innovation, and becomes real impact through the work we develop. It is within this context of continuous evolution, knowledge exchange, and the pursuit of increasingly efficient solutions that I find motivation to keep growing and contributing every day.
