Professional Experience:
With nearly a decade of experience at the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO), I’ve worked across multiple departments—primarily in the Sustainable Enterprises and Economies (SEE) programme and the CATALYST initiative—supporting and leading international training activities on formalisation, just transition, green jobs, social and solidarity economy, and enterprise development.
In CATALYST, I coordinate cross-programme activities that align ITCILO’s learning offerings with institutional priorities, ensuring coherence and integration across topics like decent work, sustainable development, and social dialogue. I contribute to programme design, oversee learning strategy, and facilitate cooperation between technical teams and external partners. I’ve also supported transversal initiatives on spatial planning, responsible business conduct, and foresight for the future of work.
Within SEE, I’ve co-developed and delivered training programmes for policymakers, workers, and employers’ organisations in the areas of informality, enterprise formalisation, cooperative development, and financial inclusion. Many of these were delivered in collaboration with ILO field offices and national institutions, across Lusophone Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. I’ve also contributed to high-level tripartite events and global learning formats, such as MOOCs and regional academies.
Beyond ITCILO, I collaborated with Boulder Institute of Microfinance in the delivery of its international training programmes, including as a liaison with partner organisations like the brazilian credit cooperative Cresol.
I’ve also supported content development and facilitation for Development Alchemists, a consultancy focused on inclusive development strategies and innovation in learning.
I’m fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Italian, with working proficiency in French. I’m used to working in diverse cultural settings and adapting content and facilitation approaches to institutional and regional contexts. My professional style is hands-on and pragmatic—I work well in fast-paced environments, build trust quickly with partners, and bring a strong mix of content knowledge, creative thinking, and coordination skills.
