He was a member of the Boards of Directors of Bradespar (2015-16), Battistella (2016-17), Casan (2019), Celesc (2011-14 and 2018-19), Eletrobras (2012-14 and 2016), Eletropaulo (2016-18), Gasmig (2020-21), Kepler Weber (2017-20) Tecnisa (2012-14) and Usiminas (2012-16).

With experience in the mining and steel, oil & gas, petrochemical, logistics, power generation, transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution, steel transformation, base industry, civil construction, including photovoltaic generation, warehousing, and sanitation sectors, he has acquired competencies skills and knowledge that allow him to contribute to the most diverse matters and strategies that are addressed on the boards he participates, such as turnaround, ESG, capital structure, mergers & acquisitions, sale of non-core assets, financial restructuring of companies in crisis, including judicial reorganization, executive succession, highly complex legal issues and leadership in dealing with crises of global impact, such as COVID-19. He was Chairman of the Board of USIMINAS during the peak of the 2015-16 economic crisis amidst Brazil's largest corporate conflict. In April 2017, he assumed the chairman of the Board of Directors of Eternit to lead its turnaround with the election of a new executive board, but in the same year the Company suffered an important setback in a legal issue that banned the use of Chrysotile Asbestos in Brazil, and that ended up dragging it into a Judicial Recovery process starting in 2018. Leading the board at that complex moment, he acted so that Eternit would seek a new business in the photovoltaic energy area, including in its portfolio a product with technology and innovation.
