JOÃO PICCOLI
Executive Producer
Born in São Paulo, João Piccoli is a musician, singer, voiceover talent and now our Executive Producer and partner at DragonFly. He’s always been surrounded by music due to his family upbringing, and it was only natural that he’d find a way to be around it as a professional.
His career started back in 2018 as a studio assistant at the same production company where Ana, Daniel and Mike used to work. A couple of years later, he began working in post production and also as a Casting producer.
Seeking new challenges, João decided to switch to accounts management and found himself doing really well in this new role. So well, in fact, that he’s now a part of our team doing exactly that! During this brief period he’s already worked with huge clients such as O Boticario, Sony, Itau, Bradesco, Ambev, Reckitt, etc.
As for his hobbies, João likes meddling with woodwork and all things DIY. If there’s a youtube video on it, he’s all over it! Sometimes things don’t come out as expected, but learning and understanding more of the subject with each project is what gets him going. In his spare time, João is an avid (not Avid!) consumer of true crime podcasts and TV series in general.
CLAUDIO LEAL
Executive Producer
Executive producer Claudio Leal has over 25 years of experience in the advertising industry, and, throughout this time, has worked with a lot of local and international clients such as Hyundai, Ford, Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroën. Like the other members of the DragonFly team, Claudio has worked with Mike, Ana, Daniel and Charly previously, and joining our team was a natural move.
Also a skilled guitarist, Claudio has an original project called 12 Degrees of Saturation, with millions of streams on all platforms. Just on Spotify, there are over 1.5 million streams of his songs since 2020 and counting!
Among his passions are traveling (Rome is his favorite capital)and watching movies and series in the little spare time he has. Obviously, listening to music as well, and Claudio is a big fan of bands like Kiss, Rush, and Sepultura.

After years touring Europe, US, Japan and beyond, sharing stages with the likes of Oasis and Foo Fighters, Charly made the switch to music production in 2014 and eventually to the world of publicity in2019, when he first met and started working with Mike, Ana and Daniel.
Since then he’s produced campaigns for Bradesco, Sadia, Vivo,Ford, Jeep, Netflix and many others, bringing a unique perspective to each project. He has also become a prolific voice over artist and singer in the industry.
