"Young strategy of the year 2017"

By LE MOCI - Ministry of Economy

"The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new "
Sócrates

Originally from the Brazilian Amazon, I am an economist and lawyer with sixteen years of experience in international affairs and diplomatic relations. Over the course of my career, I have dedicated much of my time to creating and managing startups, as well as leading major public projects in technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

However, this experience led me to question the role of humanity in the development of these technologies. This intellectual and deeply personal reflection drove me to explore economics and philosophy more thoroughly, ultimately leading to the creation of TRADE Group—an international organization with four subsidiaries in the United States, Brazil, France, and the United Arab Emirates, specializing in strategic consulting and transition.

Our mission is to support international organizations and leadership teams in anticipating geopolitical and environmental risks that directly impact the financial stability of markets and states, while also examining the role of diplomacy in addressing climate challenges. Anticipating planetary boundaries is essential to protecting both living systems and economic activities.

Our team, composed of researchers and former business leaders, is committed to knowledge transfer and strategic economic action, with a strong focus on delivering pragmatic and measurable outcomes.

My research focuses on the consequences of inaction and the role of diplomacy in addressing climate challenges, as well as the need for new power dynamics to foster more favorable diplomatic and social conditions. My courses, titled “Rethinking Economic Models” and “The Limits of Tourism,” aim to guide future actors of the global political economy in reimagining existing paradigms.

At the intersection of entrepreneurship and science, I operate within a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment grounded in rigorous teamwork, trust, and a genuine sense of purpose. In this continuous journey of learning, it is commitment that truly drives and enriches me.

Dyplomatic Relations

 

 

Policy shifts, regulatory transformations, and geopolitical dynamics can profoundly reshape industries, often with little warning. Navigating this complexity requires both anticipation and strategic positioning.

We specialize in forecasting risks and structuring influential relationships with key stakeholders to support and protect our clients’ international operations. Through advanced analysis, strategic advisory, and ongoing project oversight, we enable organizations to operate with confidence in uncertain environments.

Sustainable Investing

Identifying and investing in the right long-term opportunities requires more than financial insight—it demands a deep understanding of global dynamics. Executive decisions must account for complex cultural, economic, and geopolitical environments that influence both risk and performance.

Our mission is to deliver strategic analysis and guidance that supports confident investment decisions. We go beyond deal execution, ensuring that each project is built for durability, operational excellence, and sustained value creation across international markets, including high-performance M&A strategies.

Transversal Project

Managing cross-functional collaboration within consortiums, particularly after the award of a public tender, requires careful coordination and strategic alignment.

We intervene diplomatically to facilitate governance, align stakeholders, and ensure efficient project execution. Our approach transforms complexity into structured collaboration, enhancing both performance and long-term outcomes.

With proven experience alongside CAC 40 leaders, we bring a nuanced and effective approach to improving cooperation and delivering high-impact results.
