Summary

I am a pediatric hematologist by training, with over 15 years of experience in pediatric hematology, focusing on rare benign hematology disorders, including bleeding disorders and inherited hemolytic anemias. Transitioning into medical affairs nine years ago, I have developed extensive expertise within local and global pharmaceutical teams, advancing my skills in strategic planning, medical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.

With excellent communication abilities, I effectively engage with internal and external stakeholders, foster meaningful relationships, and influence with presence, consistency, and confidence. Fluent in English and Portuguese, I am passionate about harnessing emerging technologies to drive innovation and improve patient care outcomes.

Currently, I serve as the Global Medical Director for Caplacizumab, an innovative treatment for acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), a rare acute hematologic disease
