I always ran from my comfort zone.

I know it sounds cliché, but my collection of zip codes doesn't lie.

Lisbon, London, São Paulo, Detroit, Boston, New York. I have worked all over the place for the past 32 years.

So far, the journey has included places like Y&R, DDB, FCB, Grey, W+K, Ogilvy, AgênciaClick/Isobar, Huge, and Arnold. Currently, I am the Global CCO at Studio X (WPP x The Coca-Cola Company), overseeing all the Coke brands.

I have been a jury member at Cannes, D&AD, and One Show, among other international festivals. In 2015, I was named one of the 30 most creative people in advertising by Business Insider, and in 2021, I was recognized in The Drum's World Creative Rankings of the best CCOs of the year. I am also a member of the VML Global Creative Council.

My work was recognized with 55 Cannes Lions for brands like Colgate, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Unicef, Leica, Motorola, Forbes, Monster.com, Hellman's, and Fiat, among other awards like D&AD, Effie, Webby, LIA, One Show, and Clio.

One thing has never changed during all these years: the will to work with people I admire and for brands I love. I've been lucky, though.
