To kick off 2026, Adriel explored the intersections of professional growth, cultural adaptation, and technical innovation — and how the skills built in Brazil translate directly into opportunity in Canada.
Key Themes
- The Power of Adaptability: The “Brazilian capacity for adaptability” as a real-world advantage — from reading cultural cues to adapting communication styles.
- Education as a Professional Bridge: How returning to school at SAIT opened unexpected doors through connections and scholarships.
- Translating Technology for the Market: Acting as a “translator” between complex technical products and diverse industries.
- Human-Centered Design: A three-step process — listen, create, deliver — to move from ideas to reality.
- Networking without Intentions: The best connections are made when you’re genuinely interested in others’ stories.
