About Thaiz Maciel
I currently serve as Director of Communications at Island Innovation and work towards promoting and facilitating sustainable development in islands and rural territories around the world. I love working here because it allows me to collaborate with brilliant people from many nationalities in a positive and productive environment. Besides that, I learn every day from people who are leading the transition to a more sustainable future.
For over ten years, I have been helping entrepreneurs and associations to pursue their dreams through digital strategies and humanized communications. I worked in technology startups and multinationals as a marketing leader. I also had roles in sales and project management. I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Communication and specialized in Digital Marketing and Social Innovation Management.
I believe in the power of communication and connections to build a better world. Besides traveling frequently, I have my home in Santa Catarina Island, in the south of Brazil. It is also known as Magic Island and is a great place to be in touch with the beauties and mysteries of nature. When I have some free time, I like surfing small waves and painting with watercolors.
Surprising fact: I visited 17 countries in one year.
