About Me

Carlos is a customer-centric Product Owner with an eye for identifying technology-driven innovation ideas and shaping those ideas into proposed engagements for clients. One of the products he has created was called “Boa Peça”, a solution acting as a marketplace for used vehicle parts.

He facilitates discussions and ideation sessions to elicit requirements and creates proposals for clients - detailing the hypothesis, opportunity, and potential impact/value of solutions on projects. He is familiar with emerging tech trends, capabilities, and use cases of solutions on projects.
