THE SHIFT

Insight & Inspiration

Story creates change

Two powerhouses to wrap up 2025 on a high note.

You don’t want to miss these two insightful and inspiring conversations with Luis Felipe Magon and Gabriela de Queiroz.

Who is Luis Felipe Magon?

A sharp mind in finance and an adrenaline-driven soul in the ocean. Luis built his career working with top entertainment entrepreneurs, launched his own fund and VC, and now invests in the surfing world while hunting the next unicorn. Beyond boardrooms, he’s a Big Wave Surfer — living proof that resilience is both a business strategy and a lifestyle. A proud Founding Member of Rekonnekt, he’s now preparing to launch his boldest project yet: the biggest wave pool in South America.

Who is Gabriela de Queiroz?

A Brazilian visionary who shaped the global tech landscape from the inside. Former Director of AI at Microsoft and Chief Data Scientist at IBM, Gabriela stepped out of big tech to build her own startup — bringing a human lens to one of the most transformative technologies of our time. Her story blends courage, reinvention, and clarity in an era of AI hype. In her 3-episode series, she takes us behind the scenes of Silicon Valley, the future of AI, the battle between big tech and startups, and what trustworthy AI really means for all of us.
