About Me
Looking back, I find that almost everything I have done, while quite diverse in nature, has had a common factor: explaining complicated things in a simple way. My efforts have always been focused on the business of understanding. With a degree in Physics, my first job was in the circulation of scientific information (I wrote hundreds of articles on science and technology for an encyclopedia). Later I organized an information center from scratch for a technological park. There I learned that information management in organizations and institutions was the biggest challenge, and I decided to learn more in the United States. A business information center and hours upon hours of training managers in the possibilities of this new discipline led me directly to Infonomia.com. And the rest is history, as they say…

More About Me
I'm passionate about
I like beauty, order, simplicity, youth. New projects and new challenges are brain food for me. I spend as much time reading as possible. I love learning: a new day, a new idea is my motto.
An idea worth spreading
we have to develop a universal visual language to overcome the current information overload
Talk to me about
future, education, combining capacities of companies, hybridation of ideas, creating new value,
People don't know that I'm good at
I work well catalyzing work groups with the aim of eliciting knowledge we sometimes don’t even realize is there. Someone once told me that my primary virtue is to “activate knowledge”.
