Vandre Brilhante

Biography

I am restless by nature, always in search of new paths, partners and knowledge to inspire new ideals and effective actions that can better create solutions to problems related to poverty and the lack of opportunities for all, especially for younger people.
I founded Cieds 25 years ago, today one of the largest social organizations in Brazil and Latin America. We promote strategic networks that generate prosperity, i.e. more income, more health, better education, more citizenship and above all, greater confidence in the future. We are a team of about 2000 employees working across the country in partnership with local governments, development agencies, large private companies and international institutions.
I am a member of TENDREL Brazil and the Catalyst network. My volunteering experiences are responsible for much of my professional and personal learning. I was a volunteer and Director of the AFS Intercultural, member in the Social Council of the Inter-American Develp. Bank.
