Aronramos Irv is the founder and CEO of Instituto Resgatando Vidas, a non-profit organization that operates in the Vila Nova Cachoeirinha area of São Paulo, Brazil. Born and raised in a rough neighborhood in the Zona Norte of São Paulo, Aronramos got involved with drug use and sales at a very young age. However, the birth of his daughter at age 16 made him reevaluate his life and turn it around. He quit drugs and started working in pursuit of his dreams, including having a family, owning a house with hot water, and getting a degree and a job at a multinational company.

Through the Instituto Resgatando Vidas, Aronramos aims to help others who are struggling with addiction and poverty, and to provide them with opportunities for education and social integration. Before starting the Instituto, Aronramos worked as a Coordinator of Fixed Assets at Siemens, a multinational technology company. He studied Strategic Business Planning and Financial Planning at Uninove - Nove de Julho University.
