Artur Faria

Chief Executive Officer @ CGC Energia

About

I am the CEO of CGC Energia, a renewable energy company I co-founded, dedicated to the development, construction, and operation of solar power plants in Brazil. We serve a diverse portfolio of clients—including multinational corporations, major Brazilian companies, and SMEs—through solutions that combine energy generation, commercialization, and efficiency. After initially serving as a board member, I transitioned into the active CEO role to lead CGC Energia’s next growth chapter. Our company operates more than 60 proprietary solar plants, all certified for the issuance of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), and has built over 60 MWp of installed capacity. We hold ISO 9001 certification and have undergone independent audits for the past four years. Prior to this, I served as CEO of Oxygea, a corporate venture capital and venture building firm focused on sustainability and digital transformation. I also spent a decade at Braskem, where I led Strategic Planning, Market Intelligence, and M&A, in addition to representing the company in industry associations and serving on the boards of portfolio companies. I am a passionate entrepreneur in the renewable energy space. I hold an MBA from IE Business School, a certification in Investor Relations and Finance from NYU, an extension in Venture Capital & Private Equity from Columbia Business School, and a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Insper.
