REGENERATIVE FUTURES

The best strategy on a damaged planet to regenerate it. REgenerative ACTION—RE.ACT now!

NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio

It is hard to make sense of the climate reality, planetary boundaries, and the systemic complexity of our impacts on the planet.

I can help you with that, no doomism or tales of infinite growth.

We need to go beyond “As-Usual":

Business-As-Usual is eroding our planet on an unprecedented scale and keeps accelerating, with oil production set to quadruple in the next years.

Sustainability-As-Usual is greenwashing the way to the ongoing degradation of ecosystems, like a green carpet for the 1%.

Exploitation-As-Usual is the root of our social and planetary decay. The extractivist [colonial/sumpremacist] mindset that privatizes gains while socializes losses, keeps concentrating wealth and increasing inequality.

It is all part of our culture, the consequence of our actions and worldviews, especially of our future views.

THE GOOD THING is the

FUTURE IS A POSSIBILITY

together WE CAN CHANGE IT!

CERTIFIED BY THE CIFS & IFTF

work

I help conscious organizations look into the future to act today.

Bridging the gap between tomorrow's challenges and today's opportunities, we can strategize, innovate, and design the Regenerative Futures we need.

For over 15 years, I have led projects and innovation initiatives in Latin America and Europe for clients like Google, Boston Scientific, Takeda, Fujitsu, MetLife, Faerch, DSM, and Oi Telecom. Positively impacting the environment and millions of people in over 10 countries.

I have gone from the macro to the micro—from the Futures to the present—identifying trends and behavior changes to design successful strategies, products, services, and processes for organizations in Brazil and Europe.

Certified in Strategic Foresight by the CIFS—Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies and the IFTF—Institute for Futures Studies, the oldest Futures think tanks in the world.

From all these experiences I refined my result-oriented approach connecting:

FORESIGHT → STRATEGY → DESIGN to

RE.THINK → RE.FRAME → RE.DESIGN → RE.GENERATE


🦆 THE marreco WAY

I'm a Carioca [born in Rio] and every Carioca has a nickname. My friends always called me Marreco 🦆 [Drake]. Which is suiting since like a duck, I'm:

collaborative → fly long distances together, leading or following

farsighted → fly high to see beyond the horizon with a bird's eye view

versatile → fly, walk, and swim, navigating any element or terrain

RESilient → migrate for the best weather all year long
