PUBLIC SPEAKING
Are you ready for the future?
Are you ready for the future?
Technological disruption takes place in nearly every segment of our society. When things are happening so rapidly it can be hard to keep track, which is a shame; new technologies impact us more than one might think and will increasingly do so in the future.
My goal is essentially just that: to keep track of technological developments and its impact in society. With over 10 years of experience in the tech industry, I have a unique perspective on the rapidly evolving landscape of disruptive technologies.
I have spoken at conferences and events around the world, sharing my insights on the future of technology and its potential impact on our lives.

It was a fantastic day, especially thanks to Rubens contribution! Our expectations were high, and they were exceeded. A fun, accessible, and very effective way to get acquainted with the possibilities of AI. It was a pleasure working together, and even in the preparation for this day, we had a good vibe from the first contact!
