About me

Dear hiring manager,

From a very young age I identified with technological subjects, computers, systems and innovations, I have always heard since I was a child that I influenced other people to move around, made friends easily, liked to make jokes and organize the ranking.

When I started my career in Raízen as a network intern, I had the opportunity to be close to great technologies, taking on critical activities such as data center control, equipment monitoring and standardization of topologies, and after five months I became a multiplier for the rest members of the team. During this time, the IT manager identified my project management profile and challenged me with a project to deploy the company's first WIFI technology, revolutionizing the network of all Raízen units. Through this opportunity I found myself professionally, because planning, executing and directing people is what I have always done since I was a child.

My activities always involved a high degree of organization, planning, cost reduction and operational optimization, so I had the opportunity to participate in the joint venture between Cosan and Shell of Brazil, making Raízen the fourth largest company in Brazil. Since then, I have started to undertake complex projects with different focuses such as the Shell Box - innovative project of payments at gas stations with the best user experience, the modernization project of the telephony solution of the largest gas company in Brazil and the project to restructure the network of Brazil's largest port terminal, creating several ways to further increase the site's high availability.

In order to leverage my career, I was certified in PMI (Project Management Professional) with the PMP (Project Manager Professional) and soon after I took on a new leadership position, one of my main challenges being to build a project framework based on the PMI methodology , focusing on optimizing the project management and control process, providing the necessary tools for a team of 16 Project Managers.

During this leadership period, I was mapped as a talent with the potential to take strategic positions as a Manager / Director and I received an invitation to attend training focused on career acceleration (21 employees chosen out of 30,000). In this training I was able to reinforce my positive points and the necessary points for my development. I started to assume activities of the coordinator such as hiring, terminations, development of career of the team and cover the holidays of my coordinator, with a team of 21 people.

I started studying English in private classes and was awarded the CEBIT - Germany innovation fair to connect the new ideas. I identified that this was the ideal time to experience a cultural experience and to improve the English language. I researched different countries in Europe and chose London for its history, technology and cultural diversity, this experience was so incredible that it further increased my desire to live in London, since then I continued to study English for an opportunity to work and to continue with the studies.

In 2017 I participated in a disputed innovation program with 800 teams, where the work proposed by our team was the winner.

To my knowledge, I am confident that I can contribute to the growth of the company and continue to develop me professionally.

Best Regards,

Gabriel Ferreira
