Sergio brings a unique blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a collaborative leadership style honed over 20+ years. He’s spearheaded key initiatives in global companies like Grupo Bimbo, Sigura, and VMware Tanzu, consistently delivering operational efficiencies and competitive advantages through strategic technology implementation. This success is built upon a solid academic foundation that blends computer science and business administration. He holds a Master of Computer Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Master of Business Administration from the Universidade de São Paulo, complementing his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
He’s adept at driving business outcomes through technology, with expertise spanning enterprise applications, cloud computing, machine learning, and lean manufacturing principles. Currently, Sergio is the Founder and CTO of Epikerdis, an early-stage startup focused on AI-powered business partners that unlock productivity and human potential.
Sergio has led massive ERP implementations, navigated the choppy waters of global M&A integrations, and even dabbled in the exciting world of AI startups. But he’ll be the first to tell you that even the most seasoned CIO still encounters the occasional surprise system outage or a project that mysteriously veers off course. It’s all part of the journey, and it’s a journey best navigated with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of humility, never losing sight of the human element in technology. After all, it’s not just about the bits and bytes but about the people who use them.
