LUIZ GUILHERME
Founder and CEO at Sensio

Luiz always liked being in this industry, and combined with a passion for technology, he decided to study mechatronics engineering at the University of São Paulo. After graduating, Luiz spent almost 3 years managing his father's company, where he had the opportunity to dig deeper into the challenges of manufacturing. There he felt the pains of inventory and production management, and after doing some research on tools for small and medium factories, saw a gap in the market, and decided to create Sensio. Luiz started coding the project and testing it in the factory, using the user's feedback as a guide toward the roadmap. As the MVP matured, he hired a couple of employees and started to sell to other companies. Today, Sensio has more than 150 customers and is a team of 12 people. Luiz acts as CEO and also as the technology and product leader, managing the development and data science team.
