Over the past 20 years, Ricardo Viana Vargas has been responsible for more than 80 major transformation projects in several countries and industries, covering an investment portfolio of over 20 billion USD. He is also an entrepreneur in the digital economy, with focus on project management tools using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
