Three specialists. One decision: elevate the standard of Planning.
S&OPlayers was not born from theory. It was born from three journeys across the shop floor, the executive committee room, and the classroom. Together they built the ecosystem Brazilian Planning was missing.
The Trio
Three journeys, three specialties, one ambition: elevate Planning across Latin America.
Executive with over 20 years of experience in Supply Chain and Planning, with extensive work across Brazil, Latin America, and Europe. Led transformations, operations, and strategic projects in S&OP, S&OE, and IBP, integrating processes, technology, and management. Today, he channels this background into new solutions, methods, and frameworks for the future of Planning.
“S&OPlayers was born to elevate the standard of Planning, connecting professionals, companies, knowledge, and technology to turn planning into decision-making and real results.”
Ana walked the entire path she now teaches: starting as an analyst and rising to executive management, right where key decisions are made. In 17 years, she implemented and led S&OP in top industries and specialized in reducing excess inventory and stockouts simultaneously using modern methodologies like DDMRP. She is the 1st woman in Brazil certified by the DDMRP Institute and co-author of A Nova Fronteira (Editora Lisboa, 2026).
“Mature planning is not luck: it is process, data, and discipline sustained year after year.”
Ulisses bridges Planning and senior leadership. A pioneer in S&OP consulting in Brazil, he brings integrated planning to boardrooms and aligns the S&OP cycle with financial outcomes. He holds an IBP credential, maintains direct ties with key industry associations, and anchors the ecosystem’s most advanced content.
“S&OP only works when sales, operations, and finance speak the same language.”
