Paulo Biggers
@paulobiggers
International business strategist specializing in Brazil–US market entry, operations, and cross-border growth.
What I'm looking for
I am an international business strategist with 25+ years structuring and scaling operations across Brazil and the United States, advising over 50 companies on Brazil–US expansion. I design market-entry vehicles (JV, M&A, Greenfield) with tax and legal efficiency, lead operational integrations, and deploy a proprietary 360° risk assessment framework to mitigate political, currency, and regulatory exposures.
My hands-on experience ranges from founding and operating a profitable restaurant startup in San Francisco to structuring multi‑million dollar cross-border real estate transactions and pioneering tax-efficient REIT models. I combine bicultural fluency, deep networks of vetted legal and financial partners, and measurable operational improvements—financial modeling, compliance leadership, and team building—that drive sustainable growth.
