Executive DirectorInPACTO
Currently, I am Executive Director of InPACTO, an Institute that runs The National Pact that involves the productive sector at the public and private agenda to eradicate slavery at the supply chain. The initiative, which was, generate in a partnership and support between USDOL- USA Labor Department and ILO International Labor Organization- Brazil. I was part of the working group assigned to build the Public Procurement Guide from OSCE-ORGANIZATION FOR SECURITY AND CO-OPERATION IN EUROPE, doing many workshops at member states, like Berlin, London, Stockholm, Astana, and Moscow. Besides, since 2014, I am part of Brazil´s National Commission to Eradicate Slavery – CONATRAE. I have worked for more than twenty years as a program coordinator and researcher on programs designed to build and monitor labor rights, sustainability, and environmental issues in national and multinational companies in Brazil, leading dialogue among companies, trade unions and governmental agencies in Brazil and Latin America. In the last six years, I am leading a specific program and working group dialogue with different sectors, such as coffee; cocoa; carnauba wax; beef; pig iron, mining, timber. Debating subjects related to environmental and social sustainability helps me consolidate an international understanding of different sectorial global governance at private, social, labor union, and governmental level, understanding their perspective and power (un)balance. There are many puzzles out there! In 2008, I wrote a handbook about the ILO Conventions (100 and 111) to help the unions negotiate with companies. That handbook published by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung - FES, the German Foundation that focuses on Labor Rights all over the world. From 2006 to 2007, at the University of Maryland, I am a Fulbright Scholar at the exchange program “Hubert Humphrey Fellow Program” of the USA State Department, a network of more than 57.000 fellows from 157 countries, most are leaders working in the GOV.
