Felipe Ramaldes is part of the Government Relations team at BMJ. He began his career in the third sector, working in organizations with a social purpose to promote the areas of culture, historical heritage, ecotourism, traditional communities and conservation units, always in intersection with the government. With the accumulation of experience in the socio-environmental area, he began working in the private sector as a social investment consultant for a mining company and, after this experience, he was invited to take over the sub-secretariat of tourism for the city of Vitória-ES. With the successful implementation of public-private cooperation policies, the tourism department was merged with the city’s public company, the Vitória Development, Tourism and Innovation Company (CDTIV), where he began working as Director of Tourism, completing a 7-year cycle in public management.
