COSTA AL

Right now I´m heading a company that employs Brazil´s 30 years of ethanol experience to flex any vehicle in less than 1 hour so it can run on ANY amount of ethanol ("E85") or gasoline.

Prior to that, I founded in 1997 in Brazil an e-commerce consulting company I sold to a NASDAQ-listed company and became its Country Manager in Brazil.

I also founded what became Brazil's 2nd largest music portal with over 52 thousand registered tracks. For that I did road-show in Palo Alto with companies like Kleiner Perkins, Advent, etc.

I have a BA in Biology from Saint Leo University (Honors Student) and a Master in Computer Engineering from University of South Florida.

I'm brazilian and spanish and have lived in several countries (my father was an spanish diplomat) and speak fluent english, portuguese, spanish, and also good french and mandarin.

Finally, I´ve been in China several times and I´m a big fan on chinese culture, and done several business in that great country.
