Graduated in civil engineering and with an MBA in business management from FGV, Rafael Romano started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 22, founding his first company. In his social work as a volunteer on projects assisting homeless individuals, he was troubled by the growing number of people in need who were going hungry. This drove him to take action, moving from indignation to impact entrepreneurship, and founding Simple Nutri.

Rafael is often present on the ground for the initiatives, as he believes in the power of human connection as part of the solution. He has been part of the Brazilian delegation for two years at the main humanitarian aid event in Geneva, and serves as the CEO of Simple Nutri.
