Co-Founder and CEO SEDA College, Vice President Chamber of Commerce Brazil Ireland
As an entrepreneur and founder of SEDA, I believe that entrepreneurship in education is one of the most impactful ways to invest in a better world.
Over the years, I have witnessed how this transformative power can create opportunities, break down barriers and change the lives of countless people.
That is why I like to say that education is not only a right, but an essential tool for individual and collective progress.
Education: a tool for transformation
I have always believed that education has the power to transform realities. When I decided to found SEDA, my goal was to provide more than just academic knowledge.
I wanted to create an environment where people had the opportunity to grow, to broaden their horizons and to see the world from a new perspective.
For me, education goes beyond classrooms and books; it touches lives, impacts communities and creates a network of possibilities.
One of the most rewarding moments in my career was seeing young people from different social and economic backgrounds find an opportunity to expand their lives through exchange programs.
Many of them may never have imagined studying in a foreign country, but education made this change possible. Seeing these students thrive is the greatest proof that investing in education is, without a doubt, investing in the future.
Entrepreneurship as a path to innovation
Being an entrepreneur in education brings with it a great challenge, but also an immense responsibility. The world is constantly changing, and education needs to keep up with this evolution.

Over the years, I have come to realize that innovation is essential. From using new technologies to adapting curricula to meet global demands, being an educational entrepreneur requires the courage to innovate and reinvent yourself.
When we look to the future, we see that education plays a fundamental role in addressing global challenges such as social inequality and limited access to knowledge.
As an entrepreneur, I have the responsibility to create accessible and inclusive educational solutions so that more people can benefit from the transformative power of education.
Social impact and sustainability
Being an entrepreneur in education also means thinking about social impact and sustainability. I believe that every entrepreneur must have a vision beyond profit. In my case, the focus has always been on the positive impact that SEDA could generate.
We have scholarship programs for students from underprivileged communities, because I believe that everyone deserves a chance, regardless of their circumstances. This commitment to social responsibility is in the DNA of our business.
Offering quality education while also contributing to the construction of a more just and equitable world is what motivates me every day. I know that, by doing so, we are helping to build a better future for everyone.
Investing in education means believing in the future
Entrepreneurship in education is not just a business decision; it is a commitment to the future. Every time a student acquires knowledge, grows and transforms their reality, the world becomes a slightly better place.
That is why I believe that this is one of the noblest and most important ways to contribute to society.
As long as we continue to innovate, invest in people and believe in the power of education, we will continue to transform the world. And that is what motivates me to move forward, knowing that, together, we are building a better future for everyone.
