David Barioni Neto is a business administrator with previous experience as vice president of the Brazilian airlines GOL and president of TAM.
“We brought to the presidency of Apex-Brasil a person with comprehensive experience in the private sector. He chaired major companies in Brazil and has a great understanding of what the country’s insertion in the international market means”, said minister Armando Monteiro.
Apex-Brazil new president believes that his experience can bring closer together private and public sectors.
“I thought it was time to contribute somehow with the public sector, bringing a view of the private sector so both sides can be closer. These are two sides that should be aligned. The private sector is very fast, what creates a mismatch against the more normative feature of the public sector. We can only increase exports working together”, explained Barioni Neto.
