André Melo
Chief Data Scientist - GroupM
Não obstante me agradar o desafio de uma experiência profissional variada, houve uma área de conhecimento que me fascinou e acompanhou sempre - dados e algoritmos. Tive o privilegio de aprender e utilizar ensinamentos desta área nos 10 anos que trabalhei no Millenniumbcp em marketing e risco, nos 8 anos de SAS Institute em Customer Intelligence e agora nos últimos 6 anos de GroupM na área digital. Mas a parte interessante é a que está para vir - pois muito caminho ainda há por fazer - nomeadamente como potenciar a nossa produtividade e criatividade através da integração de pessoas, dados e tecnologia.

Anne Geubelle
CEO - Prologica
With more than 25 years of CFO and Management experiences, in multicultural and international technology environment, with a successful track record in acquisition and fusion operations, I decided in 2015 to use my experience in technology, health and management to create a new business unit at Prologica focused on Healthcare through business intelligence and artificial intelligence technologies.
Today, Prologica’s core business is centered at Healthcare and with a strong and committed team with the same vision we unlock the power of data in hospitals and related healthcare organizations in order to accelerate the necessary digital transformation of the healthcare sector around the world!
Since 2018, Value-Based Healthcare has also become part of my path, focus and expertise.
After get the VBHC certified Green Belt and successfully completed the program Train the Trainer – VBHC Green Belt Track, I was invited by Dr. Fred van Eenennaam and VBHC Center Europe to be a VBHC Center Europe Ambassador on the topic Data & IT.
As an Ambassador of VBHC, I am convinced that the adoption of VBHC methodologies at a larger scale is highly depending on the implementation of flexible and user-friendly information system designed to better evaluate patient outcomes, costs (TDABC), and, as a consequence, empower better decision making!
