I was able to put this background in practice
during my EB and MC term, where should I not
only be responsible for my area, but for the
whole entity.
I have been used to deal with implementation of new
projects/prototypes. As examples, in my professional life, I was
the responsible to design and implement a project called USP
iFriends, whose success led, within 1 month, to 2 big media
apparitions and reached over 1,000 consumers. In AIESEC, I
can easily find correlated experiences. I was the main
responsible for redesign and rethink, besides implementing, the
new ICX Quality structure back in 2011, and, as a LCVP, I
changed the whole area mindset and structure to a project-
based one, in the first semester. As MCVP, I have started to
implement back the IXP Culture as well as another touch points,
such as the OPS and EP Induction events.
I had to deal with the most variable amount of different
stakeholders and, a lot of times, simultaneously. That
ranged from university foreigner professors to AIESEC
national partners, EBs incoming, EP's parents and etc.
This made me each day more flexible and confident to
deal with the most different kind of stakeholders as
possible.
I have always wanted to do something big, to do something good with my life. Since I was little I dreamed of changing the world and always got attracted for careers
such as being a professor, a policeman, a fire-fighter. Growing up, I became socially aware of what was going on with the world and, especially, what was going on with
my country.
When I joined university, I applied for a course in which I believed that I would be able to reach the maximum number of people that I could, in a global scale, and in that
way I would be able to translate my contribution to the world. Little by little I started forming my life mission: To be a catalyst for a positive change in the maximum
number of people's lives. All my external experiences reflected that: from being a professor, to joining the student’s movement and working in the first sector; from
studying economics and being paid for that to studying my first academic passion (Human Rights) in one of the top countries in which it is applied. I had my Clarity of
Why and kind-of had my Clarity of What. But I needed to discover my Clarity of How. And then I did: if I wanted to be a catalyst and reach this number of people, I
needed first to be able to handle them. I needed to know how to work with high volume and how to be strategically able to multiply my impact.
I am applying for MCP of AIESEC in Brazil because I want that. I want that experience. I want to be the final responsible for the organisation, the one that deals with all
of our stakeholders and with a high performing team. Also, I want to be MCP 14-15 for two main simple reasons: 1) I believe. I believe in AIESEC 2015 and everything
it stands for. And I know that we still have a lot of work to do about it. 2) I want to deliver it. I have always been considered an implementer, and I don’t see myself
having any bigger challenges right now than to deliver what we promised 5 years ago.
My team should be described by its implementing power, fast responding culture and purpose-driven
characteristics. There isn’t any time to spare if we are to delivery 2015. Previous MCs have worked with a number
of innovative attempts to maximize efficiency, yet time has come when what we need is simple – focus and heavy
implementation.
Most urgently, we need to become a fast responding supporting system to the network, which will ensure a great
number of strategies homogeneously implemented throughout local level, on short notice and according to its own
needs. It must be an all times priority to the MC.
Purpose-driven is a characteristic I have strived for in all members, of any of my teams. Knowing why we do what
we do allows us to do anything easier and better. A purpose-driven team is, by principle, limitless.
And so, in light of all that’s been aforementioned, my leadership will lie upon intensive tracking and fueling the team
through a hardcore rhythm of work, that embodies the demands of the network, facing whatever needs to be done in
order to achieve the purpose we are driven for.
I want to be an open source of energy and motivation to my MC, just so they can multiply it throughout the network
and make their own experiences worth.

For me, it has always been clear that youth plays an essential role in any society,
and recent events such as the protests for a better public transport system, better
education, less corruption and all other claims that we are all so used to complain
about were finally getting out of the sofa. Not only in the protest way, which is very
relevant, but youth as a whole is also getting out of other sofas. We never had so
many entrepreneurs before the age of 30 as right now, so many researchers,
professors, corporate leaders. Brazilian Youth is spreading its reach like never
did before, and if our generation has the right kind of behaviours and is truly
prepare to become the leaders that we need us to be, we are in the right hands.
And for them to become the leaders that Brazil needs them to be, AIESEC can play
a very important role on it.
On June 2012, I went as a delegate to YouthBlast, one of the parallel events of the
Rio+20 official agenda, organised by the United Nations organ responsible for
Children and Youth. The event got over 800 delegates from over 70 countries, all of
them young leaders who were trying to actively make a positive impact on their
societies, or at least were trying to be everyday a little bit more aware of how to
contribute, and then doing so. There, I got to see the power of youth together.
The power of everyday-life responsible and entrepreneurial leaders. By the time, I
was an LCVP, and I had 3 biggest questions on the back of my mind:
and
.
I just got the final version of my third answer now, after being through the MC
experience. The process-thinking that I have is a 3-steps simple process:
We will only be known as the ‘youth
leadership provider of the world’ if we:
a) deliver the right kind of experiences
and b) deliver enough experiences. We
have to face it: we are almost insignificant
for Brazil right now.
Our volume of operations reaches less
than 0,001% of Brazilian youth. The key
point for being relevant and known for
providing youth leadership is, and you all
have heard this before, to grow our
operations and to care about their delivery
and importance like never before.
1. Why did I need to wait to be together with some of the top youth
responsible leaders in the world to finally see something happening?
2. Why were so few representatives of Brazilian youth like that?
3. How could AIESEC contribute for a real positive change in Brazil?
We provided more experiences in 5 years than in the first 60 years or the organisation
The programme, created in 2008, was able to quickly adapt to our customers and has been consistently growing ever since.
We are always able to evolve. Our structure based on short-term leadership positions and on midterm ambitions also force us to be able to do so
We are not able to measure the leadership impact that our customers in the ELD programmes have. Both regarding leadership development and direct impact in the companies/NGOs
through our EPs work, which delays us on selling AIESEC to our stakeholders
We know that we must be a customer-oriented organisation, but we are still not there. Not only we do not have an ideal NPS, but also we do not know how to work with our
different types of customers (Detractors/Passives/Promoters)
We are still not recognised for being a youth leadership provider to the countries societies. Besides volume of operations, this also has a lot to do with the lack of presence, at the MC
level mostly, in relevant events
Sporadically, we depend on luck to not be sued or anything like it. We take a lot of time to solve our complaints and frequently our solutions are not good enough.
Nowadays we lose a lot of customers due to our lack of professionalism and security in comparison with more consolidated competitors in the market.
We are still dealing, especially in Europe, with the effects of the 2008 crisis. More than that, emerging countries are no longer in the economical growth speed that were few
years ago (Brazil included).
Reconnect with older alumni and develop a LCC portfolio in order to increase ELD
Programmes delivery, especially GIP products
It stops a lot of our operations, especially in GIP, and every day there are more restrictions being created
Most MCs struggle with legalization and a lot of them do not have financial sustainability.
We are still not able to customize all products to specific consumers. This might deal with a deeper issue, that AIESEC does not know how to have a market plan. Most of the times our
actions are random and short-time focused
Globally, the programme is stuck. We still did not find the magic formula to make GIP happen, and our strategies are long-term focused and we do not have an upscale model.
Our strategies do not reach all members that it should
We are over 80,000 members and we realized around 30,000 GCDP and GIP experiences. We have a very low global exchange/members rate.
The majority of entities is still struggling in how to deal with the high volume of realizations in GCDP, often stopping in the quantity vs quality paradigm. Also, we cannot manage a high
volume of members in our LCs
This social-economic class is stepping out of the country, and it is a big opportunity for us to capitalize over, due to its huge relevance and representativeness in the Brazilian scenario (Source: http://goo.gl/PTqodt)
Companies are often complaining about the lack of preparation of Brazilian youth for the corporate market, especially regarding soft skills. “Os valores de liderança, que não são ensinados na escolar e na faculdade, é que ficam carentes de maior desenvolvimento” (Source: http://goo.gl/IRZYGd).
To capitalize over social media in a smart way, being more attractive to our public, especially focusing on e-mobile and IT solutions for our promotion(Source: http://goo.gl/gsKtNY)
The economic growth of country partners is a great opportunity of scalability of operations, especially Latin America that has some of our biggest partners in all operations
Recent events have shown that young people are everyday more socially aware of not only their countries’ issues, but about the world as a whole.
Listen to them.. “…Young people are sceptical about companies. They expect dialogue, including in the companies’ spaces, such a website. They want, for example, to go directly to the companies’ blog and shame them, but they are also willing to hear their defense…”(Source: http://goo.gl/TiBAaP)
We do not use our alumni at all for enhancing our operations. More than that, we can capitalize over them to Learning and Development activities.
We need to translate AIESEC 2015 and its actions in concrete
. AIESEC 2015 is not just about Global Youth Voice, First-Choice
Partner and Positive Impact through the Quality of Experiences. Rather, these are
the so-called Images of the Future that are should be read through the real MoS.
Here is an analysis of the key achievements so far:
So basically we have two big goals:
Making sure to develop leadership in every of their experiences.
We need to rethink our way of doing GIP and start having more short-term solutions and
upscaling mindset.
We need to be able to deliver all of these over 25000 experiences with high quality and based
on security, standard and satisfaction minimums
For Organisations, we need to focus on Re-RA strategies to less our dependency on new
partners. For Students, we need to focus on conversion rate and customized sales. Overall, we
must treat our customers better and listen to the them.
We need to package our LEAD programmes and implement them in all of our ELD. For
packaging, we recently had the Talent Capacity Summit. The biggest challenge is going to be
the implementation that must be inserted in the processes of every operation.
AIESEC gives to the world young people that, through our ELD experiences, have the
opportunity to And by leader AIESEC defines a
person that seeks for the world peace and fulfilment of humankind potential, acts for a
positive impact in society by sharing values such as activating leadership, striving for the
excellence, acting with sustainability, living diversity, demonstrating integrity and enjoying
participation. .
In addition, AIESEC programmes put our ELD participants in contact with other
stakeholders (NGOs, Companies, Communities, families and students), that can be
impacted not only by our EPs work, but also by our beliefs and values too.
That is also what AIESEC in Brazil gives to Brazil: . We give to our country
leaders who not only are based in the abovementioned values, but also leaders who are
internationally connected at the same time that we push them to be country oriented. In
the end of the day, we develop people with the purpose for them to use their leadership
efforts and possibility of impact to strive for dealing with Brazil’s biggest needs and issues.

AIESEC in Brazil will remember the 2014-15 term by its implementation characteristic. The macro strategies will not change, but rather will be evolved and, mostly
important, implemented. The network is confused and we have to put them up to speed with what we want to deliver and, at the same time, we have to educate and
support the network on that. We have a lot of strategies to deliver, but we have not found simple ways to focus, prioritize and implement.
For both GCDP, we must
keep growing and
accelerate it for the 2015
goals achievement. GIP is
the one who must have the
biggest push towards over
100% growth if we want to
reach 2015.

generation as well (MC Level)
From NSTs to LC Coaches, we,
nowadays, are not able to fully and
efficiently support the network.
Rethinking the use of these national
support bodies is a must-do. One idea is
to have Regional or Cluster Coordinators
(like AI has) as MC part-times, which will
be involved in the MC Planning and
would be responsible for that LC
throughout the whole year.
The expansion entities grew a lot in
number and volume of operations in
the last years. Our focus right now
must not be to grow in number of
entities, but to grow in their efficiency
and representativeness with the
network
Keep it customized by publics.
Evolution must be centred around
how to reach more members and
have a higher level of discussions,
being able to co-build strategies with
the delegates, like it is done at
strategic summits.
The new growth model proposed by the

steps are to implement and develop
this new synergy proposed in the front

We need to use our resources
smartly and fulfil our potential as
AIESEC in Brazil. The main
micro strategies are
We need more loyal customer for both
short term and long term growth,
organisational image and reputation and
operational sustainability. The micro
strategies are:
We need to change our mindset
and the way we see and do GIP.
The microstrategies are:
Capacity: Front Office and Back
Office work focused on operations
Capacity: “Good to Great” growth model.
We must implement and evolve it. LCs must
strive to grow what they are good at.
Learning & Development: customized and
independent education. We need to be able to
train our members based on their daily job. More
than that, nowadays education is extremely
dependent on the leaders. We need to have an
independent education system, guaranteeing the
education of all members (i.e. AIESEC University
initiative)
Learning & Development: LEAD implementation.
We need to guarantee leadership development in all
of our experiences.
Team Minimums Culture: our retention rate is
very low, and lot has to deal with the lack of
real teams inside AIESEC.
National Behaviours Culture: now, more than
ever, we must be fast-responding, professional
and focused. This will take place in every action
that we make.
Financial Model: we need to have a more suitable
financial model for iGIP to enable it to upscale. For
example, few companies would pay what is
necessary to have more than 10 EPs of GIP in their organisations due to expenses that this would bring
Supply and Demand: we must have a very
strong S&D lock-down. Especially for oGIP, we
must know which 5 countries we will work with
and create upscaling projects with them.
Alumni: we must keep and evolve our current
alumni strategies, focusing first on oGIP and then on iGIP
Visa: we must be smart and have a range of
different strategies: local and regional options, plus
somebody working part-time in the MC for that.
Why of GIP: our membership nowadays does not
have a very clear mindset about GIP, neither about
its purpose nor about its value proposition.
CEM: We must keep our NCB strategies and deepen it, with the
NCB Ambassadors and other strategies focusing on making it
an LC daily process, increasing our NPS
Customer Loyalty for Organisations (CLO):
To implement the CEPT Model (Conversation,
Engagement, Product Packaging and Talent
Capacity) to guarantee Re-RAs of our TN Takers
Customer Loyalty for Students
(CLS): To implement the SSS
Model (Safety, Standards,
Satisfaction) to guarantee
minimum standards of safety and
project realisation to guarantee a
bigger satisfaction and number of
promoters and Re-RAs
Marketing for Conversion (M4C): We must only sell
closed projects for oGIP, or at least closed countries. In
oGCDP we must also close in fewer country partners.
This will guarantee a more accurate marketing strategy,
guaranteeing a bigger conversion rate.
Showcasing: We need to
showcase more our
experiences. But first, we
need to accurately assess
them. We shall implement
an impact assessment
model inside our
processes, to assure that
we are able to measure
our EPs impact (especially
GCDP)
Business Intelligence: our future does not rely on e-
mails. We must keep up to speed with our public and
make our tools faster, more attractable and more
convertible. Opportunity Portal, Global ORS and the
new my@ will start to be implemented in the next
generation. The key is to centralize all these informations in one simple tool.
If elected MCP, not only should I keep the
national council updated of basic national
matters, such as MC plan achievement,
financial health, main strategies
implementation, operation growth and etc, but
it would be a must-do duty of mine as MCP
elected. To be accountable for the MC
actions as its leader is the basis of working
together with the national council. More than
that, as MCP, I must be open for feedback
from the CSN to the MC work, and always
thinking about the different LC realities in
Brazil.
As MCP, I would be in touch with all entities of
AIESEC globally, being able to absorb GCPs
of the global network, filter the best and most
adaptable ones to the Brazilian reality, and
communicate them to the national council.
Not only should the MCP co-work with the
CSN through the Steering Team and
Subcommittees, but also should him/her work
closer with the CSN. One example is the MC-
CSN-TNA flow of work, that everyday should
be closer in order for us to have the best
auditing processes as possible. It is important
for both MC and CSN always remember that
neither of them represent the leadership body
of AIESEC in Brazil alone, and only together
can we strive for the best AIESEC in Brazil
that we can develop and deliver.
