The Workplace
We're proud to announce the opening of Brunel’s newest office in São Paulo, Brazil—a pivotal move in our strategy to expand across Latin America. With this launch, Brunel is sharpening its focus on two of the region’s most dynamic and high-growth sectors: Life Sciences and Technology. At the heart of this expansion is a team of industry veterans bringing both global expertise and a strong grasp of the local market.
Leading this ambitious initiative are five key figures: Bruno Amaro Senior Business Manager for Brazil, Luiz Oliveira, Account & Global Mobility Specialist, Estevão Bastos, Business Development Consultant focused on Technology, and William Nobre, Senior Business Development Consultant, also specializing in Life Sciences. Together, they bring a combined force of commercial acumen, sector-specific knowledge, and a shared commitment to elevating recruitment in Brazil.
The Pulse of São Paulo: Why This Market, Why Now?
São Paulo isn’t just Brazil’s financial capital—it’s a magnet for innovation and growth in the life sciences and IT sectors, and as Luiz Oliveira puts it, "The fast-paced growth and talented workforce make it an exciting space to work in." Bruno Amaro adds to this "São Paulo accounts for around 31% of Brazil's GDP," he continues to say "one of the most difficult problems is attracting such talented candidates in a dynamic and very competitive industry, therefore the job of expanding our brand's reach so that they have the quality Brunel experience is critical to ensuring exceptional service and longevity in the city."
To build on this momentum, Brunel Brazil, under the leadership of Tiago Chaves, seized the opportunity to expand into São Paulo, recognizing the city’s potential to drive innovation and connect top talent in both the life sciences and IT industries, much like the strategic moves we've made in Canada.
Estevão Bastos echoes this view, emphasizing the city's unique ecosystem. "The fast-paced market, combined with a strong ecosystem of startups, major enterprises, and research centers, creates a challenging yet exciting environment to drive impact through specialized recruitment."
William Nobre adds a broader perspective: "São Paulo is the financial epicenter of Brazil, where critical business activities converge. This unique blend of industry concentration and economic dynamism makes the city an ideal launching point for our growth."

Navigating Talent Demand in IT & Life Sciences
The demand for highly skilled professionals in São Paulo is growing rapidly—especially in areas such as AI, software engineering, clinical research, and biotechnology.
Bastos brings a strategic edge shaped by years working on high-complexity roles in tech. He points to digital acceleration as a key force: “Companies are increasingly seeking professionals with deep technical skills and strategic thinking.” Oliveira echoes this, "companies are looking for highly skilled professionals who can drive innovation and navigate complex regulatory landscapes."
