Paulo Batista

Paulo Batista is a Brazilian entrepreneur, manager, and speaker who believes in the transformative power of education. He founded Alicerce Educação with a mission to revolutionize education in Brazil.

Paulo's journey in education began when he volunteered as an instructor at a free preparatory course during his college years, sparking a deep connection with the field. He later ventured into the financial sector, working in Investment Banking at Itaú and Private Equity at GP Investimentos.

His entrepreneurial acumen shone through at Dental Cremer, where he leveraged the digital landscape to steer the company from a revenue of R$20 million to R$1.5 billion in just seven years, establishing it as Brazil's leading dental e-commerce platform.

Following the successful sale of Dental Cremer in December 2018, Paulo redirected his focus to his true calling: reshaping education in his homeland. This led to the inception of Alicerce Educação, a social impact enterprise devoted to enhancing lives through quality education.

Alicerce Educação adopts an innovative methodology that places the learner at the core of the learning process, offering educational foundation recovery programs to individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Through collaborations with companies, philanthropists, public-private partnerships, and families, Paulo's initiative has already impacted over 100,000 lives. The vision extends further, aiming to reach 10 million Brazilians with quality education by 2030.
