It's unimaginable 6 years ago when we first conceived the idea of digitalising ingredient samples, that we could now be helping so many rural producers in #Brazil, allowing them to make better business decision and ensuring a more sustainable livelihood...beyond #coffee, #tea, #cocoa, #grains, #juices, #edibleoils to #honey.

In developing countries characterized by economic inequality, scaling up a profitable quick commerce company can be possible due to the combination of low-cost logistics and high-margin baskets. However, the challange is replicating this success in developed markets like mid-EU, UK & USA. It requires a different approach in people management and a significantly more sophisticated courier optimization algorithm to maintain efficiency and profitability in a more competitive and costly environment.

A Publicidade chegou aos chatbots que utilizam Inteligência Artificial. "Rufus, Amazon’s recently launched, shopping-focused chatbot, is getting ads soon. That’s according to a changelog published by Amazon this week (first spotted by AdWeek), which states that sponsored ads could soon start appearing in placements for Rufus users in the U.S. Ads will be shown based on Amazon search and conversational context, Amazon says, and Rufus may generate text to accompany existing ad copy in certain cases." #ads #digital #digitalbusiness #publicidade https://lnkd.in/dq9QXx2b

For many years now I have been working with the wonderful organization Womens Leadership Forum. They are focus on women's leadership. I was a speaker at their events, and I am also a mentor for the program. In Brazil, I saw a very interesting mentoring program for women called Nós por Elas - Mentoria para Mulheres - IVG and I am indpired by her leader Edna Vasselo Goldoni Several times a year there is a recruitment process for those who want to become a mentee in the program. Interestingly that the program opens on a certain day at 10:00 and closes applications pretty quickly. There are a lot of people who want to get into the program: in the last recruitment there were 4400 applications from all over the country. Those who are selected get free mentoring from other successful women who have made incredible careers in their own businesses or in major organizations. I decided to apply for the first time too, as I was interested in getting support in my integration process in Brazil. But my profile didn't fit the criteria of the program. But my application let me participate in some of their events. Yesterday I went to an interesting workshop about networking. There were about 180 participants. What I remember: 🔹 The brilliant Ana Paula Alfredor gave a very cool talk about the importance of goal setting (gave a detailed list of possible goals) and how it affects the development of contacts 🔹Gave great strategies for tuning in to contacts and approaches for success from growing your network 🔹 Discussed where and how to make contacts. Unusually for me, it was very popular to expand your circle of contacts at the gym (apparently everyone socializes there) and at church. Churches do create a very strong community here, there are many different ones and they form strong contacts between their members. In general, taking into account that in Brazil people easily enter into dialog the point of contact can be absolutely вшааукуте: starting from store and school and finishing simply acquaintance during a walk. And, of course, at the end of the meeting there was practice - networking. In mini-groups we socialized, introduced ourselves. Traditionally, the exchange of contacts in the general chat allowed us to get a lot of new contacts in LinkedIn. It was interesting to learn that some people applied for this program Nos por Elas many times over the course of three years (until they finally got the participation they wanted). In general, I like this program a lot. It seems to me that this is a great initiative, one of those that can also be implemented in any country.

Regulation of Artificial Intelligence: An Urgent Need for Brazil. A recent survey I conducted through IDEIA shows a clear trend: over 70% of Brazilians believe it is essential to establish regulations for artificial intelligence (AI). This survey, reflecting growing awareness of AI's impacts, underscores the urgent need for a robust and effective regulatory framework to ensure the ethical and safe use of this emerging technology. I want to share with you some crucial factors from this research: 1. Protection of User Rights: AI regulation helps protect individual rights, ensuring that their information is used ethically and responsibly. 2. Safe Innovation: Clear standards encourage innovation within safe limits, promoting the development of AI solutions that benefit society without compromising security. 3. Bias Reduction: Establishing rigorous criteria for AI development and implementation can help reduce biases, promoting fairness and equity in automated decisions. An international example of such regulation is the European Union. We can learn a lot from the European Union, which is at the forefront of creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for AI. The EU AI Act sets strict criteria for identifying and mitigating risks associated with complex systems, requiring developers to meet stringent safeguards before bringing their technologies to market. This type of regulation is essential to ensure that AI models are safe and ethical. So, what is the best path for Brazil? I believe that in Brazil, following examples of international legislation can be an effective way to ensure that AI use is beneficial and safe. It is essential for policymakers, companies, and civil society to work together to develop a regulatory framework that reflects Brazilian needs and values. The IDEIA survey, coordinated by me, highlights a clear consensus: AI regulation is necessary not only to mitigate risks but also to foster a responsible innovation environment. Implementing well-defined standards can ensure that AI positively contributes to society, promoting technological advances that respect and protect individual rights. Let's continue this conversation about how we can shape a safer and fairer future with artificial intelligence. Share your opinions in the comments!

Did you know that 52% of the companies listed on the Fortune 500 in 2003 no longer exist? Once you realize that companies come and go, but relationships last—at least as long as we're here—you start to see things differently. Commerce is just the excuse we use to connect people. So then you ask me, what is EVOLVE Uniqueness? We prioritize people—you, not the company you represent. People matter, and they always come first. In our case, it's people from all around the world. Your company? That's secondary. Because of this unique approach, I want to introduce you to one of our super connectors in the community. Meet Carolina Moreno. A year ago, I told her, "You will be part of this community. We have much to build together." She was hesitant because of her English. She took lessons, and in just over a year, she's made an impressive leap. Humans are remarkable, especially when they push their limits. Carol is also the founder of Mulheres no Ecommerce ( Women in ECommerce) (MNE). If you're unfamiliar with it, MNE is the largest community in LATAM, supporting over 60,000 underprivileged women through digital education. Please take a moment to watch her interview in English. Connect with our EVOLVE Ambassador. #evolve #community #ecommerce

In addition to being a businesswoman and consultant, I do #volunteer work as a mentor for the Rede Mulher Florestal. Sharing knowledge is something I have always enjoyed doing and it motivates me a lot.   Yesterday, in the second session with my mentee, I discussed the ability to #analyze and present #data in a quantitative and qualitative way.   So I couldn’t lose the chance to share relevant numbers and information from this first year as a businesswoman and consultant.   N.G.L. Consulting in numbers: - Project negotiations: 5 - Projects validated by clients: 3 (60%) – 1 (20%) under negotiation - Networking meetings: 36 people and organizations (3 per month) - Events and training: 6 (1 per two-months period) - 42 emails publicizing the company with the scope of work   Areas of activity of the projects: 🏆 Reputational and sustainability aspects of the planted forest sector 📚 Adherence of companies to new certification policies on the conversion of natural areas 🔬 Sustainable Intensification 👩‍🌾 Innovation for young professionals 🎯 Leadership and coordination for the approval of policies and standards that minimize risks and enhance opportunities in sustainable forest management

If you aspire to have an International Career, here are 5 cultural differences in the "ways of working" that I experienced in the USA. I usually share these with my clients to minimize the cultural impact in the workplace and thought it would be helpful to share it here. As a Brazilian, I know that we are consumers of American brands and products and we have a feeling of familiarity and cultural proximity, but our daily lives are very different. Tag someone here who is coming to the USA so they don't get surprised. #internationalcareer #culture #expat #career #awareness

What if the secret to powerful leadership lay in two words from opposite sides of the world? In Brazil, there's caprichar—a word that doesn’t translate easily. It means putting care, passion, and attention into what we do, no matter how small the task. It’s a way of creating that honors even the tiniest details. And then there’s Japan’s wabi-sabi—the art of embracing imperfections, of seeing beauty in the incomplete, the flawed, the “almost.” Imagine combining these: a leader who caprichars in their work, pouring in intention and dedication, but who also embraces the wabi-sabi of it all—the beauty of imperfection, of lessons learned along the way. In a world that often glorifies speed and perfection, these words remind us that the best work is heart-driven and full of humanity. Today, let’s ask ourselves: where can we caprichar and celebrate wabi-sabi? Because the true mark of a leader is one who knows when to lean into both. ☺️

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in the Bay Area, participating in some fantastic events, including Brazil at Silicon Valley. 💥 Unsurprisingly, AI remains the "talk of the town," and has been for quite some time now. 🎯 I synthesized six initial and preliminary insights into AI, both in general and within the realm of finance. These insights were drawn from my extensive reading, as well as conversations with ML specialists, founders, professors, and VCs. 🔊 I'd love to hear your thoughts on these observations. 🙂 💪 🔝 #AI #innovation #siliconvalley #future #perspectives #technology

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being one of the speakers on the career panel at the Summit Mulheres de Sucesso. 🎤✨ During my session, I shared a personal journey that I believe is essential for success: authenticity is our greatest asset. Each of us brings a unique value to what we do. Even if we don’t have all the answers, what we possess is irreplaceable, as it’s shaped by our natural strengths and the experiences we’ve gathered throughout life. 🌱🌍 The leadership I’ve developed is built on inclusion and humanization, which goes beyond simply promoting diversity within a team. True inclusion requires that every voice is heard and valued. Creativity thrives when people feel part of an environment where their opinions are respected and decisions become more effective. Inclusive organizations not only innovate more but also achieve better financial results. This is the path to transformative leadership: by recognizing each person’s value, we empower our teams to reach greater heights. 🚀 I also spoke about the importance of not being defined by labels imposed by others. This is liberating. Today, I choose where I am, not where others place me. The message I leave is clear: know the value you bring to the places you are. Our authenticity and our stories are what make us the best leaders we can be. This is the legacy I’m building, and I encourage you to do the same. 🌟👣 And you, how are you using your authenticity to lead? Share your thoughts and experiences below! 👇 #ExecutivePresence #RiseUp
