Why did you decide to get involved with the Strategic Management Society?
“SMS provides an opportunity to share knowledge and network with like minds round the world.”
What initiatives have you been involved in within the SMS recently, or what is something you’re excited about that is coming up for SMS?
“I was elected for an office position in the Global Strategy Interest Group and also in the Teaching Community. This was a great experience to get involved hands on with SMS. I also proposed and organized / chaired two special conference in Brazil, one in Rio de Janeiro in 2011 and another in Sao Paulo in 2018.”
When you are not immersed in strategic management, what can we find you doing?
“Surfing and Kite surfing in Brazil, Costa Rica or El Salvador.”
