Gustavo Jose Valente is an engineer and the founder of Plan4flow, a consultancy
dedicated to aligning leadership and accelerating results through flow. Over
more than three decades in aerospace and manufacturing, at Embraer and
Bombardier, he led programs and engineering teams in highly complex
environments, where late delivery is measured in years and the cost of delay is
visible to everyone. As a consultant he has helped organizations multiply
throughput, cut lead times in half, and raise on-time delivery above 95%,
generally without adding people or equipment. He is a member of TOCICO and was
credentialed as a Professional Engineer of Ontario. He was born in Brazil and
lives in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. He is available for interviews in English
and Portuguese.
