A brief about me: born in Brazil, I have been living in Europe since July 2004. I have spent six years in Italy, where I defended my PhD at University of Bologna, and the last eight years in France where I’m currently an Associate Professor at ISG - Paris. I have 31 years of experience in Human Resources, and I held several managerial positions for 15 years in Brazil. Due to my strategic position in the market I was invited to give seminars in MBA courses, and over five years I accumulated - in parallel - experience as university lecturer, when I opted for an academic career in 1999. In 2000 I received my Scientific Master’s in Business Administration from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil) and in 2010, my PhD in Management from the University of Bologna (Italy).
Since 2000 I have been teaching Human Resource Management, International HRM and Organization Behaviour in Graduation, Masters and MBA programs.
