Hello. I’m Sara.

Founder and CEO of Actif, a social impact startup focused on healthy aging. I have a degree in Agricultural Engineering and a specialization course in Bioinformatics.  I was the co-founder and former COO of Trigger.Systems, an IoT technology startup to save water in irrigation systems. I also co-founded and currently serve as board member of Quebra-Dados Association. I was awarded by the Europen Institute of Innovation & Technology and Innovation with the EIT Woman Award in 2019. Participated in several events as speaker and startup mentor.

I love new projects and new challenges. In this website, you will find some of those. There are many more on a personal level, from building my countryside house, woodcrafting, managing my vegetable garden or volunteering as a firefighter.

You may also find here some self promoting material or random thoughs about my life.
If there is any project you think I could help with, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always glad to share thoughts, make provocative questions or provide connections within my network.
