The first arc

From a delivery bicycle at 13 to a product in 50+ countries.

Delivery bicycle at 13, warehouse, designer, eight years leading brand and product at Unimed, then founder. At Sizebay he drove conception, validation, the patent, the first investors and the expansion to three continents: 1000+ e-commerce clients in 50+ countries. Alongside it, SEBRAE-accredited consultant and speaker from 2014 to 2021.

The passion: teaching. Fifteen documented talks and years of SEBRAE workshops, because he likes the moment a founder finally sees the mechanism.

The second arc

From the family's neighborhood market to founder, exit, consultant.

Sales started behind the counter of the family's neighborhood market. Then eight years as programmer and business analyst at Totvs and Tupy, building commercial, logistics and invoicing systems. As co-founder of Sizebay she wrote the first validation algorithm, built the sales process and sold to the first clients, supported the European expansion, then left in a strategic exit. She has built the pipeline AND written the code around it, which is rare and is the point.

The passion: simplicity. Her fight is for the simplest system that works, so the entrepreneur gets the week back.

Together

They founded the same company and took it to three continents.

Sizebay is the shared proof: conceived, validated, sold, funded, and grown into what the press called a global leader in virtual fitting room technology. They opened its European operation in 2019 and the US operation in 2022, when they traded an established, recognized life in Brazil, where each was a reference in their field, for the United States, to expand the company and their own minds. They led that chapter through Sizebay's exit in 2026.

They are becoming Texans now, learning to love this land the way they love their Brazil. Between them, every discipline a company needs to be built, not just advised. When Holybiz talks about company building, it is autobiography, not theory.

The purpose

Our paths met. So did our purpose.

In life together, in entrepreneurship and in volunteer work, we found the larger purpose of our lives: helping people and businesses reach the fullest of their potential.

We spent the last twenty years building companies side by side, exploring opportunities, consulting, while building a marriage and raising wonderful children who are, far more than our businesses, our main deliverable to the world.

The name is the belief: Holy + biz. Work is a vocation, and the entrepreneur plays a role in society far too important to be spent on robot work.

That is exactly why Holybiz builds agent teams for small businesses and entrepreneurs: so the work runs lean and the life gets lived. A full, happy life is the point.
