Fundação Getulio Vargas, Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo, PhD in Supply Chain Management
I am an agent of social transformation through youth and adult education, focused on understanding current practices and the state of the art about concepts and theories related to management.
Since the beginning as an supervisor and coordinator in service companies I perceived my interest and skills in mediating processes of individual and team development, which led me quickly to dedicate full time for academia to deepening learning and teaching. I feel comfortable at classes as a professor in disciplines related to Marketing, Distribution Channels, Organisations Theories, Project Management, Risk Management, Supply Chain Risk and Resilience. And I feel challenged when my students and colleagues invite me to compose or build research teams and start projects that could improve our understanding about theory and concepts and contribute to social economic environment. I have collaborated in more than hundreds of sustainable academic projects, guiding students teams to support non-profit organisations, small and medium firms in Sao Paulo.
Recently finished PhD in Operations and Production Management at FGV EAESP (among the world’s best business schools, with triple accreditation according to the leading international accreditation organizations). Researches from thesis dissertation and other themes have been published in international academic journals as IJOPM and JOSCM, as well in conferences as AOM, ENANPAD, SEMEAD, SIMPOI and POMS.

Design/methodology/approach-Based on 41 in-depth interviews, this qualitative study examines two Brazilian agri-food supply chains (AFSC). The interviews explored the impacts, preparedness, response and adaptation strategies adopted by farmers, processors and manufacturers during Brazil's extreme drought of 2014-2015.
Findings - SCRES does not depend on all organizations in the supply chain but rather on the company able to reconfigure the resources to control for the disruption. In a supply chain with low interdependence among players, individual firm resilience elements might be preferable to interorganizational ones.
Research limitations/implications - This study is based on the context of AFSCs with low interdependence among players and during the experience of a climatic event. The results might not be generalizable to other sectors and phenomena.
Practical implications - Firms must evaluate their positions in supply chains and their interfirm relationships to determine which resilience strategy to invest in and rely on. Moreover, to leverage resilience at the supply chain level, firms must intensify information sharing and improve proactive resilience strategies upstream as well as downstream in the supply chain.
Originality/value - This study presents a broader perspective of resilience by comparing resilience elements at both the node and supply chain levels and by discussing their interactions and trade-offs.
