Filipe provides a unique skill set that fits perfectly in technology, innovation and environmental projects.
Throughout his career, Filipe co-funded multiple ventures – from a software house and technology consultancy, to Brazil’s first 3D printers start-up, Metamáquina – consulted to multiple companies – such as Ello Político, a unique platform which monitors Brazil’s legislative activity, by merging social sciences with the latest trends of statistics and artificial intelligence and providing a unique set of predictive and qualitative “political econometric” analysis, Filipe restructured the tech team and its management processes and was the main decision point on technical decisions.
At Metamáquina, a particularly unique experience, Filipe worked on all phases of the business and product, from conceptualisation, development, production, management, sales and marketing.
Metamáquina is credited for kickstarting the Brazilian makers scene and was the country’s first crowdfunded company. It developed Brazil’s first 3D printer, built on 100 percent free hardware and software. Internationally recognised, Metamáquina developed projects in partnership with London’s Architectural Association School of Architecture, Itaú, SESC and Fundação Banco do Brasil, Graded and St. Paul’s International Schools (in a partnership with CLWB, an UK-based edutech company) and researches with São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
Later on, Filipe came to manage and develop multiple project for Avaaz, a global civic organisation that promotes activism on issues such as climate change, human rights, animal rights, corruption, poverty, and conflict. With over forty million members in 194 countries, The Guardian calls Avaaz “the globe’s largest and most powerful online activist network”.
