Throughout his career, the executive has built a solid background in cybersecurity, working on critical and strategic projects in network infrastructure, data centers, cloud computing, integration, and migration, in addition to stints at companies such as Vivo and Unimed. In recent years, his focus has increasingly shifted towards leadership, team management, and service structuring, always with a strong technical foundation and alignment with corporate strategy.
“I’ve always wanted to work with people and lead teams. Throughout my experience, it’s become clear that when management is accompanied by technical depth, the results are much better,” says Corrêa. “At Add Value, my challenge will be to structure cybersecurity services with governance, standardization, flexibility, and that generate value for the business, creating models that cater to everyone from analysts to IT executives. The goal is to build a portfolio of services as a product, with a continuous cycle of evolution and improvement, without losing lightness and clarity in delivery,” he adds.
According to Corrêa, the movement also represents "an opportunity to act as a advisory "who understands the needs of the market." The decision marks a transition in his career, in which he will be able to apply his corporate experience, becoming a strategic partner who integrates business, architecture, governance, and security, consistently keeping up with the evolution of technologies and the real needs of clients.
“There is a great opportunity to look inward, review processes, invest energy in standardization, and create a standard of excellence. The idea is to sow a solid foundation now, capable of supporting solutions that truly address the challenges faced by companies,” Corrêa emphasizes.
For Isabel Silva, Director of Business Development – Cybersecurity at Add Value, Fernando's arrival reinforces the company's strategy of bringing together professionals with complementary experiences and deep market knowledge. She believes that adding people with diverse expertise and real-world experience brings maturity to the company's solutions.
“It’s not about reinventing everything, but about knowing what works, what solves problems, and which disruptions truly make sense,” says Isabel. “In the cybersecurity universe, well-structured services are fundamental. Transforming products into services and services into products is essential for the full potential of technology to be utilized. When we talk about risk, processes, and real demands, we are talking about generating loyalty, growth, and maturity for Add Value and its clients. A good service is good for everyone,” she emphasizes.
With the new leadership, Add Value reinforces its strategy of expanding and structuring its cybersecurity service offering, raising standards of governance, consistency, and quality.
