About This Event

How Brazilian founders turn U.S. expansion into disciplined, scalable growth that actually lasts. From analog hardware to the AI age.


🇺🇸 🇧🇷 From Vision to Execution

On March 12, 2026, at 8:00 AM (CT), join us at Fogo de Chão for a candid conversation about what it really takes to move from bold vision to measurable results.

Innovation sounds inspiring. Execution is unforgiving.

In a moment where AI, automation, and capital efficiency are redefining what wins, the gap between idea and execution has never been more exposed.

Ed has led through every major technology transition — from analog hardware to digital, from the internet to the cloud, and now into the era of AI and IoT. He relocated operations from Silicon Valley to Texas, more than doubled revenue, earned recognition from the Governor of Texas, and now advises the Central Texas Spaceport Development Corporation as Austin positions itself as a new aerospace hub.

This is not a motivational talk.
It is a practical discussion about decisions, trade-offs, scaling, and leadership under structural change.

If you are building, scaling, or repositioning a company, this conversation will challenge how you think about execution.

Held during SXSW week in Austin. This is an independent event and does not require an official SXSW badge


🇧🇷 Da Visão à Execução

No dia 12 de março de 2026, às 8h (CT), no Fogo de Chão, participe de uma conversa direta sobre o que realmente separa grandes ideias de resultados concretos.

Inovar é inspirador. Executar é implacável.

Em um cenário onde IA, automação e eficiência de capital estão redefinindo o que gera valor, a distância entre visão e execução nunca esteve tão evidente.

Ed atravessou todas as grandes transformações tecnológicas — do hardware analógico à era digital, da internet à nuvem e agora à era da IA e da IoT. Transferiu operações do Vale do Silício para o Texas, mais que dobrou o faturamento, recebeu o prêmio de Melhor Empresa do Governador do Texas e hoje atua como advisor da Central Texas Spaceport Development Corporation, que posiciona Austin como polo aeroespacial.

Não é uma palestra motivacional.
É uma conversa prática sobre decisões difíceis, escala, posicionamento e liderança em tempos de mudança estrutural.

Se você está construindo ou reposicionando um negócio, essa discussão vai elevar o seu nível de execução.
