“If you don’t have a dog, you hunt with a cat.” – Adriano Savelli, an MBA alumnus, shares a Brazilian idiom that he applies every day in his personal and professional life. He disrupts the world of human resources by helping organizations adapt to technological change and making them more human.

"I wouldn’t say that I work in HR, I would say that I work with organizations and that people are my passion. I look for ways to add to an organization, to change it and develop it so that it can adapt to a constantly evolving world. Technology is increasingly present in our lives – artificial intelligence and machine learning are definitely going to be here to stay. So, my question is, how are we going to work with them as humans?"

"You have to do things in life that make you happy. For me, that’s music, surfing and people. People are at the heart not only of what I do, but of the way I like to live my life".


ARE YOU A DISRUPTOR?

Disruption is what changes the world.

At IE, we encourage the disruptiveness in us all and nurture it to bring about innovative, new ideas. We created a space where we can share our alumni’s entrepreneurial endeavors and celebrate what makes them unique.

Disruptors grew out of a desire to showcase our alumni’s journey to success, to highlight their dreams for the future and the paths they are taking to get there.

These are the people who constantly disrupt our accepted norms, working towards the betterment of this globalized world.
