Academic Degrees and Technical Certifications

Throughout my professional career, I have complemented hands-on experience in audiovisual systems, broadcast, networking, and AV over IP solutions with continuous education focused on both executive development and technical specialization.

My profile combines three core dimensions: strategic business vision, ongoing academic development, and technical certifications applied to real-world integration, production, distribution, and operation of audiovisual systems.

Academic and Executive Education

MIT xPRO

Critical Thinking and Decision Making

This program strengthened my ability to analyze complex scenarios, evaluate alternatives, and make effective decisions in environments shaped by technological change, market development, and business leadership.

MIT Sloan Executive Education

Leading Organizations and Change
Negotiation and Influence

The MIT Sloan programs enhanced my understanding of organizational leadership, change management, and influence in negotiation processes — all essential skills for business development, channel management, and the building of strategic relationships across multicultural markets.

INCAE Business School

Advanced Negotiation Workshop

My training at INCAE added a strong executive perspective on negotiation and agreement-building, complementing my professional experience across Latin America with formal leadership and management tools.

Art Institute Fanoli – Padua

Bachelor’s Degree in Media Art

My academic foundation in art and media became the starting point for a career built around the convergence of communication, technology, visual language, and the evolution of audiovisual production systems.

Technical Certifications and Specialized Training

In addition to academic education, I have consistently pursued technical certifications in key areas related to the convergence of AV, video over IP, network infrastructure, and professional audio.

NDI

NDI Basic
NDI Professional
NDI and Performance Media Networking Class

My NDI certifications and training reinforce practical expertise in video-over-IP workflows, interoperability, connected production environments, and the design of flexible ecosystems for content creation, collaboration, and distribution.

Dante

Dante Level 1
Dante Level 2
Dante Level 3

These certifications support a strong understanding of professional audio networking, signal transport, synchronization, scalability, and best practices for modern AV environments.

NETGEAR Academy

Introduction to AV over IP
Advanced Networking for Professional AV

NETGEAR training has strengthened my skills in the design and operation of network infrastructure for audiovisual applications, with particular focus on switching, segmentation, traffic management, and support for AV over IP deployments.

Additional Technical Background

Over the years, I have also participated in ongoing product training, technical specialization, and professional development related to:

  • AV over IP

  • networked audiovisual systems

  • video production and distribution

  • systems integration

  • educational technology

  • broadcast workflows

  • streaming and collaboration platforms

This combination of formal education and field-based technical learning allows me to work confidently with manufacturers, integrators, distributors, universities, broadcasters, public institutions, and end users across the Latin American market.

A Profile Built on Continuous Learning

Beyond formal degrees and certifications, I consider continuous learning a central part of my professional identity. In an industry where technology evolves quickly, staying current is not simply an advantage — it is a professional responsibility.

My academic and technical background enables me to engage with both business and technical stakeholders from a perspective that combines commercial understanding, strategic vision, and real operational experience.

This is especially important in the kind of work Zhur Video is built to support: helping manufacturers and technology partners navigate Latin America with credibility, technical depth, and market awareness.
