PUCPRCoordinator & Professor at the Business Administration Undergraduate Program
Aug. 2015 - Feb. 2017Curitiba Area, BrazilIn July 2015 I was invited by PUCPR to join the University as the Coordinator of the Business Administration Undergraduate Program at the Business School. The challenge was to lead a profound change in the program by combining four elements: (i) the new educational approach being adopted by the University (adoption of active methodologies of teaching like PBL, CBL, flipped class room, among others); (ii) the internationalization strategy designed by the University; (iii) update the programs' curriculum aligning to cutting edge programs encompassing among other things a learning by doing approach and entrepreneurship; (iv) leading the faculty to support and incorporate all changes into their teaching activities. We were aiming to build one of the most innovative programs ever seen in Brazil by applying cutting edge active teaching methodologies, assessment based on competencies acquired (assurance of learning) and a new vision that encompasses entrepreneurship, leadership and strategic thinking applied to develop the students' empowerment contributing to prepare a leader capable of dealing with the future that lies ahead. I stepped down in July 2016 and during the period I was responding for the chair we designed and implemented some important changes toward the proposed objectives.
Besides the Coordination of the Business Administration Undergraduate Program, I've been teaching classes of entrepreneurship on undergrad programs, of strategic management and Brazilian economic development for exchange students and of startups valuation and business analytics on graduate programs.

After 6 months we learnt that the importation of adapters, lamps and devices would require a much larger investment & structure than we were capable of having. The other project came very close to actually happen, we manage to find a German company to provide the technology, local partners who would be responsible for sales and implementation and the first two clients who wanted to buy the plants. However, we failed in two things: (i) forge the shareholders agreement to launch the JV; and (ii) structuring the credit facilities to finance the implementation of the first two plants. As a result of the learning process we shut down the business.
