I believe in meritocracies – be it in public office or private practice. Having said that, it is hard to ignore that there is a gender gap in many areas of law, and antitrust is no exception. Heading the antitrust division of an enforcer, I saw firsthand how some in the public policy ecosystem – including congressmen – are prone to seeing women under a different light. As a believer in market efficiency, I see signs of progress: time, ability and skills tend to trump cultural barriers and misguided preconceptions.
I am proud of being the youngest entrant of GCR’s 40 Under 40 and of being awarded the GCR Awards Lawyer of the Year in 2014 and 2016! In my past life in government, I am proud of having helped implement an effective and long-standing anti-cartel programme in Brazil, which requires substantial policy efforts and strong cooperation with criminal authorities and other government agencies.

To maintain a work–life balance, I spend quality time with my family and good friends during the weekends, which I find is essential to top up my energy and prepare for a new week. Also, during my LLM at Georgetown several years ago, I picked up running. Since then, everywhere I go I bring a pair of running shoes with me. I travel frequently with my job, and so running is a very convenient hobby: I can do it everywhere, it is great for sightseeing, and on top of that it helps me keep a sharp mind and control stress.
Tip for young professionals: Find yourself a good mentor, but also mentor someone else less experienced than you. This will help you develop different skills other than what you are usually required at work in the beginning of your career.
