I had the pleasure of working with Otavio at Monsanto, collaborating on tax projects. When I think about his work “ridiculously efficient” is the phrase that comes to my mind. I was particularly impressed by his ability to handle Government Affairs and help our team to succeed in tax projects. His skills seem to come perfectly naturally to him.

He would certainly be an invaluable asset for any public or private organization lucky enough to have him in its ranks.

I knew Otavio since my first days in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply in 2002. Since then he was always working within the agricultural sector in key positions. This sector specifically requires not only a good understanding on the economic, technical and social issues involved, but also a reasonable time of experience in order to have an adequate comprehension about the diversity of factors influencing each decision. Exactly for such reason I recommend Otávio. He has the skills to take the correct decisions and a strong relationships’ network within the sector, which are essential characteristics wherever you work on agriculture.

I was particularly impressed by Otavio’s ability to give us quick and objective solutions for hard tasks, mainly regarding crucial decisions. More than this, I think that one of his powerful skills is the capacity of predict and bypass problems, always building a very trustful network of actors. Otavio is also a keen international analyst and a very adaptable professional with outstanding experience in several areas. Furthermore, Otavio’s ability to juggle multiple projects was impressive and made a good difference in the productivity level of the team that he managed at the Ministry.

Além disso, possui uma capacidade de liderança e articulação intergovernamental destacada.

I know Otavio for over 20 years. We have worked together in many different chalenges on the agriculture sector. Otavio has always shown a great capacity to negotiate challenging issues and bring good results to the country and its agriculture economy. He is an expert on agribusiness, a sector of high competitiveness both in Brazil and around the world. As a trustful executive, he has been able to bring his networking capacity to his private roles. In fact, this is what I understand as his best asset: to combine technical agriculture knowledge, political, social and economic elements in such a unique manner between the private and public sectors. Not less important is to metion that Otavio manages very well and keeps all the regulatory and political structure of the Brazilian central and state governments updated. Otavio can be persuasive in a high degree and definitely is very oriented to results, always working in a collabortive and constructive work with the Brazilian and other foreign governments. For all those reasons and taking into account the years I know him and followed his professional career that I recommend him as a C-level executive and as team player for any future executive challenges.
