Antonio is passionate about the idea that the private sector can deliver a large positive impact to the World. He began his entrepreneurial path selling sandwiches at school, to pay for prom without asking his parents for money. He was highlighted one of Brazil’s most influential people by Exame in 2011 and by the Financial Times in 2013. He is a board member of the World Economic Forum in Latin America and also integrates the Social Finance Task Force. He got a degree in Public Administration at EAESP-FGV and studied at UC Berkeley and Babson College. Obsessed with Rachmaninoff, Antonio believes his new-born daughter is probably one of the people that has most listened to Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Concerto at her age.

To support the impact investing ecosystem in Brazil, he helped launch the ANDE (Aspen Network of Develoment Entrepreneurs) Brazil Chapter and writes several articles about the sector. On his free time he practices yoga and plays the piano, so he can control his anxiety and not drive Vox’s team crazy.

Assistant

Elisangela took her first professional step at age 15 as an apprentice at Banco do Brasil. As a hobby, she used to volunteer in an association that took care of socially vulnerable children and teens. She is passionate about drawing and photography, so it’s understandable that she can get in creative even with the flowers she picks up the street to create floral arrangements for the office. She is currently preparing to go to college, now that she made up her mind about applying to an accounting degree. It had never crossed her mind to do something related to Impact Investing, but she grew fond of Vox and now she is also passionate about contributing to creating a better world!
