Roberto's journey began at age 12, teaching and mentoring classmates in math and sciences. As a teenager, he wrote philosophical essays, composed music, and became one of South America's first microcomputer programmers, leading to a corporate job at a major bank in his early 20s.

Concurrently, he pursued an academic career at São Paulo University (USP), earning an MSc in Computer Science and serving as a part-time professor for over a decade. By age 30, Roberto had published several IT books, spoken at numerous events, written articles for various publications, and founded a company that served major tech firms like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and SAP.

In 1995, Roberto began volunteering in IT Trade Associations, eventually becoming president of Assespro São Paulo and the Ibero-American Federation of IT Trade Associations. His extensive travel and speaking engagements in 40 countries inspired him to write a book on ONG network management, published in 2015.

Personal challenges led him to write "The Seven Keys to the Serenity Prayer" in 2019, and to co-found Conscious Love in 2020, a mutual support group network. Roberto's Signolife methodology, aimed at helping people live purposeful lives, was first presented at International Cooperation Day 2023 in Panama City.

As a speaker, he engages audiences with eye contact, personal anecdotes, parables, and quotes from selected authors.
