At the Lemann Foundation, we understand leadership as an essential process for driving positive changes in Brazilian society, grounded in two core pillars: shared purpose and transformation. We believe in the power of individuals who, driven by a sense of urgency and ethical commitment, are able to mobilize collectively around common goals, influence decisions, and drive changes that promote justice and equity.

Our concept of leadership values individuals with a transformational mindset who work across different sectors — civil society, the private sector, academia, and the public sector — and who, connected by high-quality programs and networks, represent Brazil’s diversity and share a commitment to an inclusive, fair, and developed future.

“Leaders committed to transformation are crucial to addressing Brazil’s major challenges. Over the past few years, more than 8,000 people have taken part in development opportunities supported by the Lemann Foundation. We will continue to strengthen people who reflect the face of Brazil, the ones who dare to dream of a different world and work to make that dream a reality.”
