who we are

Our Managing directors and professionals have over 25 years of international business experience in management and advisory roles alike. Our team has strong educational backgrounds, coming from the finest schools in the USA and Brazil, including Harvard Business School, UC Berkeley, Wharton School of Business, NYU, Fundação Getulio Vargas and COPPEAD with MBAs and LLM. The strong educational background has been strengthened by hands-on experience at financial and legal institutions such as Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts, Violy, Biorum & Partners, BFC Bank and Barbosa, Mussnich & Aragão. We have significant operating experience, which gives us first-hand insight into the issues that affect start-ups, growing businesses, and businesses in need of restructuring.

Our core values include: client focus, integrity, meritocracy, excellence, entrepreneurial spirit and teamwork. Our practice has a track record for providing work of the highest quality in dealing with the different business cultures of the countries in which we operate to meet the needs of our clients.

Our group expertise in corporate finance and business strategy attracts clients from both sides of the negotiating table. We help to develop and analyze strategic business plans, financial forecasts, and restructuring alternatives as well as the ability to create innovative approaches to bring efficient resolution to restructuring assignments. We bring a range of additional talents and relationships to the table when either a new equity investment or a merger/sale is the ultimate conclusion of a reorganization strategy. If necessary we get actively involved in the day-to-day running of a business.

Our main approach is to design ways of creating value, determine the best capital structure to support a company’s business strategy, provide access to a network of resources that strengthen operational execution, and realize value for shareholders and investors.
