About

Over three decades dedicated to information security, I've witnessed the complete transformation of the digital threat landscape—from early boot viruses to ransomware campaigns orchestrated by nation-states. This temporal perspective has taught me that security is not just about technology, but about people, processes, and the wisdom to anticipate what has yet to be seen.

As founder of NESS since 1991 and CISO of IONIC Health, I've built my career at the intersection of technology and corporate governance. My work extends beyond Brazilian borders—I serve as an international consultant in privacy and compliance, navigating the complex regulatory frameworks of LGPD, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

At 60, as a father of two daughters, I viscerally understand that protecting corporate data means protecting lives, reputations, and legacies. Every security policy I design, every defense strategy I implement, carries this conviction.
