Maristela Scenna-Romano

For the past three years, I've been living and traveling China — building a view of this market that goes beyond headlines and into how Chinese companies actually think, decide and partner. I came to Hong Kong in 2023 after a 25-year career in capital markets across São Paulo, New York and London, most recently as Director of Latin America Equity Sales at Credit Suisse..Today, I work at the intersection of China and Brazil. What I bring to boards, advisory roles, and stages: two decades of advising C-suites and global investors, INSEAD-certified governance training (IDP), and a rare seat at the table where Latin America and Asia meet. I've spent my career translating between markets and cultures — and I now do it where the most consequential trade and investment story of this decade is being written. Outside of work, I'm a mother raising a globally-minded child (three continents of schooling so far), a volunteer with Sempre FEA — the endowment fund of FEA-USP — and an active member of the Asociación de Mujeres de Habla Hispana in Hong Kong. If you're working on Brazil–China business, looking for a speaker, building a delegation, or considering board talent with this lens — I'd love to hear from you.
