Policy Work

I have worked as a policy analyst in the Executive and Legislative branches of City of Porto Alegre, Brazil, where I got to work on important economic reforms.

I am also a fellow at Instituto Millenium, one of Brazil’s leading policy think tanks, and I discuss policy issues as a regular contributor to Exame.
