An executive with over two decades of experience, a professor, and a researcher, Jaques Paes, who holds a master's degree in Organizational Management, navigates strategy, sustainability, and organizational behavior. A restless thinker, he is a consultant, columnist, and lecturer in FGV’s (Getulio Vargas Foundation) Postgraduate courses, where he articulates themes such as ESG, social license, risk management, and organizational complexity. As an author of works and essays that explore the intersection of economics, sustainability, philosophy, and governance, he has stood out for proposing a critical reinterpretation of ESG — arguing that the challenge is not in the metrics, but in what sustains them. His talks combine reflection, provocation, and practice, inviting leaders and organizations to rethink what truly transforms.
