CAREER

Leading the new wave of productivity and innovation with AI

Post-Doc FEA/USPPhD FEA/USPMSc FGVEx-GoogleFIA ConsultingABNT AI

Executive with over 30 years of experience, post-doctorate in AI from FEA/USP and award-winning professor. Author of "Creativity, Mental Models and Innovation". My career is defined by the intersection between academic rigor and practical business application.

"I seek to inspire new reflections, challenge people to rethink success, and support change toward a new capitalism: fast, efficient, balanced."

Luís Guedes, PhD

With over 25 years of corporate and academic experience, I have dedicated myself to understanding and driving the wheels of innovation and value generation for all. I graduated in Computer Engineering and have always had a journey that fused diverse and enriching experiences. I have contributed to large companies such as Solvay, NEC, Embratel, Telefônica, Google, and the Federal Revenue Service.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a connection with academia, driven by the certainty that I have much to learn, culminating in a Post-Doctorate in AI from USP and over 20 years of experience as a professor and researcher. I have consulted for more than 40 public and private clients in resolving complex challenges. My academic production includes more than 40 scientific articles, 5 chapters in collections, and a book ("Mental Models, Creativity and Innovation", Ed. Senac), reflecting my commitment to the advancement and sharing of knowledge.

Currently, I am a passionate professor, speaker, and author of a column I am proud of in Istoé Dinheiro magazine, where I share my reflections on AI, innovation, and new technologies. I also seek to contribute to the development of society as an Advisor to the City of São Paulo on the Climate Policy and Action Committee and as a Consultant to the ABNT Quantum Technologies Study Commission.

I learned along the Camino de Santiago that the journey should be light and, whenever possible, full of meaning and shared with good people.

Today, I dedicate my career to helping business leaders and public managers navigate changes, aiming for a more balanced and prosperous world for everyone.

This is my story so far. I invite you to connect with me and be part of this journey, exploring the infinite possibilities that the future holds for us.
