Achieving prominent positions in nance within global corporations requires a solid academic and professional foundation, coupled with diverse practical experience. My career has been built with a focus on developing these fundamental competencies.
I hold degrees in Economics and Accounting, alongside specializations in Finance and an MBA. My academic and professional experiences in culturally diverse countries such as Canada, Argentina, Brazil, and the United States signicantly expanded my strategic vision and ability to operate in multicultural environments. For example, during my time in the United States, I had the opportunity to work at MasterCard in Saint Louis, Missouri, for two years, gaining deep insights into the dynamics of global corporations.
Fluency in languages commonly used in corporate environments, such as English and Spanish, in addition to Portuguese, was crucial to my international work. These linguistic skills allowed me to lead projects and collaborate with global teams, competencies that are indispensable not only for CFOs but for any professional in leadership roles on a global stage.
This combination of education, experience, and linguistic prociency enabled me to meet the demands of leading multinational companies, such as MasterCard and Coca-Cola (USA), Siemens (Germany), Valmet (Finland), Case New Holland – CNH (Italy), PX Energy (Canada), Haas and AHT (Austria), Bematech (Brazil), and Telefônica (Spain).
These experiences not only enriched my professional prole but also consolidated my ability to handle highcomplexity demands, delivering consistent results in dynamic global markets.
Work-Life Balance I rmly believe that balancing work and personal life is the foundation for sustainable growth in any career. For years, I have maintained this balance with discipline and control, which was essential to achieving success in globally relevant companies.
This professional success was only possible with strong family support, especially from my wife, Janete Anelli, who also has a notable career, having worked in various companies and countries while mastering multiple languages. Her partnership and understanding were crucial for my dedication to work, reecting directly on the solid foundation we provided for our two children, Victor and Arthur Bach Anelli.
We provided them with an education that values diversity and global learning. They attended an international primary school and completed high school in Italy. Currently, they are pursuing Mechatronics Engineering at one of Berlin, Germany's top universities. As parents, we are proud to support a new generation focused on global knowledge, technological development, and sustainability.
We believe that investing in education and global values is a signicant contribution to a more balanced, safe, and sustainable planet—not just for our family, but for future generations. This vision inspires us to continue promoting positive changes in all aspects of our lives.
