About Inès

I was the first in my family to navigate the American college system — from Colorado Springs to top Silicon Valley companies — and I never stopped betting on what's possible. It's what pushed me from Bank of New York to Google Brazil in the early days, then to Instagram as their first hire in Latin America, where I helped scale @instagrambrasil to 16M+ followers. I learned that your story is your greatest competitive advantage — and that most people undersell theirs. In 2020, I founded Speak Dreams and launched a mentorship program that received 627 applications. I read every single one. I interviewed 77 finalists and matched 84 women with mentors across cultures and countries — all in 47 days. It was rated 9.9 out of 10 for positive life impact. Now I coach top leaders from Google, Meta, Waze, Cargill, and Brazil's Paralympic Committee on how to access and articulate the stories only they can tell — for interviews, leadership moments, and career pivots. I'm also a pop artist (yes, really) and the creator of Chloé & Valentina, an audio fiction series featuring a Grammy-winning producer, Oscar-nominated sound designer, Emmy-winning writer, and acclaimed lead actress. It landed an Apple Podcasts Editorial Spotlight and coverage in Harper's Bazaar Brasil, Vogue, and Glamour. I bring that same creative rigor to our sessions: your story deserves more than a template. If you're ready to stop underselling yourself, let's talk.
