Matheus Holtz

Executive with over 20 years' experience in project management, engineering, product development and operations, with a proven track record in leading companies in the telecommunications, retail and household appliances sectors. I have led strategic initiatives with significant interaction with senior leadership (C-Level), managing complex portfolios, robust budgets, cross-functional teams and performance indicators (KPIs).

In recent years I have dedicated myself to managing Data Center implementation projects - a rapidly expanding global sector driven by advances in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud and digital transformation.

My background includes international experience in the USA, Europe and Asia, participating in high-level negotiations, audits and technical events, as well as executive academic training (Innovative Project Management - College of Business | The University of Akron, OH, USA). Throughout my career, I have overcome various challenges and transitions, which have strengthened my adaptability, resilience and focus on results. I am a hands-on professional with reliable attitude, strong execution skills, as well as a commitment to continuous learning. I recently had my O-1A visa approved by the American consulate, a recognition granted to professionals with extraordinary business skills (but unfortunately the company that hired me dropped the project).
