Growth Lead

Tercio Lima is the Growth Lead at NeuronHire, where he runs both sides of what the firm does: the brand, content, and SEO strategy that attracts North American companies, and the sourcing work that fills their pipelines with LATAM engineers. The patterns he writes about come from active pipeline work, not desk research.

A Chemical Engineer by training (UNICAMP), his path here was non-linear: industrial compliance at Eaton, then growth at Maloka, an AI SaaS for retail, where he built the content engine from scratch. That cross-domain background is what lets him read a hiring market analytically and write about LATAM tech talent without sounding like everyone else.
