Founder of Baseli. 15 years inside the Brazilian ecosystem — in startups, scale-ups, agribusiness, and B2B companies in growth mode.
I've spent the last 15 years inside the Brazilian ecosystem. I've seen firsthand what works — and more importantly, what breaks when structure doesn't keep up with growth. Or when a foreign company enters assuming Brazil works like everywhere else.
Baseli was born from that observation. The gap is never in the product. It's in the reading of context. Who is really deciding. What that silence in the meeting means. Why the deal didn't close even though everything seemed right.
That's what I bring. Not just methodology — local intelligence that no platform, database, or AI can replicate.
I work with a maximum of 2–3 active clients at a time. Because the work requires real presence — not frameworks delivered in a report and left in a drawer.

How I work
15 years operating inside the Brazilian ecosystem — not observing from outside. I understand market nuances, ecosystem dynamics, and cultural codes that an external consultant simply can't replicate.
I don't deliver reports that sit in drawers. Every engagement ends with clear direction and concrete next steps — structured so execution starts the following week.
Maximum 2–3 active clients at a time. That's not a limitation — it's the only way to deliver real results without dilution or autopilot.
Reading a room. Sensing momentum. Knowing whose word matters in a sector. Understanding what that pause in a negotiation really means. That's what I bring — and no platform replicates it.
