Faldini & Cia

Roberto Faldini, the founding and managing partner, is the primary principal with full authority over investment and stewardship decisions. His governance pedigree—as an IBGC co-founder and former Novonor board member—shapes the firm's decision-making culture rather than a formal investment committee structure.

Deal flow appears to originate through Faldini's membership in elite Brazilian and Latin American business networks: IBEF, FBN, LIDE, and CEAL. These councils aggregate family-business owners, financial executives, and regional corporate leaders, functioning as an informal but high-access origination channel.

The entity is structured as a corporate investor—a Brazilian sociedade empresária investing proprietary capital—though it operates with the closed-door posture typical of a single-family office. It does not solicit external capital or function as a multi-family platform.

Roberto Faldini served on the board of Novonor S.A. until December 2023, providing governance oversight during the conglomerate's post-Lava Jato restructuring. His insider role at one of Latin America's most governance-scrutinized industrial groups is a defining professional relationship for the office.

Yes, the office stewards relationships with four foundations: Amigos do Bem (social welfare in Brazil's Northeast), Fundação Crespi Prado (cultural and social heritage), Fundação Dorina Nowill para Cegos (services for the visually impaired), and Fundação Norberto Odebrecht (the Odebrecht family's legacy foundation). The Crespi Prado and Ema Gordon Klabin cultural collections also sit within the office's stewardship.
