Fama re.capital strengthens governance, appoints Sérgio Gusmão Suchodolski as CEO, and consolidates strategy around thematic verticals

fama re.capital, an independent asset manager certified as a B Corp with over three decades of experience, announces the appointment of Sérgio Gusmão Suchodolski as partner and new CEO.

Sérgio's arrival marks the beginning of a new strategic chapter for fama re.capital, anchored in its institutionalization, the articulation of global partnerships, and the strengthening of its capacity to turn social and environmental challenges into concrete long-term investment opportunities.

This move also consolidates the firm’s new strategic configuration, structured around three thematic verticals: Climate, Inequality, and Socio-bioeconomy.

This repositioning reinforces fama re.capital’s commitment to an investment thesis that combines superior financial returns, deep intentional impact, and proprietary solutions for a world in transformation. In recent years, the firm has expanded its scope across multiple asset classes, while maintaining the analytical discipline and critical philosophy that have long defined its trajectory.

With the formalization of the three verticals, the firm now enters a new phase — one structured to organize investment theses, build specialized teams, and launch sophisticated products — either independently or through partnerships — targeting structural challenges still undervalued by the market, combining analytical depth with innovation capacity.

In our view, investing well means understanding risks and opportunities beyond oversimplified narratives. Climate change, systemic inequality, regulatory shifts, and social pressures are not peripheral issues, but central vectors shaping the dynamics of the contemporary economy.

The three verticals reflect this strategic understanding:

Climate: development of decarbonization and adaptation strategies, recognizing climate risk as financial risk and the transition to a low-carbon economy as a driver of value creation.

Inequality: formulation of investment theses aimed at reducing socioeconomic disparities, strengthening macroeconomic stability and the long-term business environment.

Socio-bioeconomy: integration of environmental, social, and territorial variables into solutions grounded in the Brazilian context, recognizing the interdependence between conservation, social development, and inclusive productivity.

Each vertical will have dedicated leadership, tailored products, and the ability to engage with a wide range of investors — from multilateral banks and sovereign wealth funds to institutional and retail investors. The approach combines technical rigor, customization, and strategic originality, reflecting the major transformations shaping the future of capital.

To lead this new phase, fama re.capital strengthens its leadership team:

Sergio Gusmão Suchodolskithe new CEO and partner, brings solid experience in structured finance, economic development, and transition strategies. He previously served as President of the Development Bank of Minas Gerais (BDMG) and Desenvolve SP (São Paulo’s development agency), where he led the adaptation of these institutions to the global climate agenda. His career spans BNDES, private equity funds, and multilateral institutions, consistently building bridges between markets, public policy, and institutional innovation.

Tiago Penido Gomes, formerly of GEF Capital, leads the Climate vertical and has become an equity partner at fama re.capital. He is responsible for the firm’s proprietary decarbonization thesis, which has positioned fama as a leading name in climate finance in Brazil.

Andréa Álvares was Global Vice President at Natura and led strategic operations at PepsiCo in Brazil. She currently chairs the Board of Instituto Ethos and serves on national and international boards of organizations focused on sustainability and innovation. A recognized leader in socially and environmentally impactful business, she heads the Socio-bioeconomy vertical.

Caroline Dihl Prolo, a lawyer specialized in environmental law, climate change, and carbon markets, is co-founder of the think tank Latin American Climate Lawyers Initiative for Mobilizing Action (LACLIMA) and a consultant to the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). She leads the transversal agenda of institutional and legal engagement, deepening fama’s longstanding practice of driving corporate transformation from within.

The composition of the team reflects the firm’s philosophy: predominantly female, racially diverse, and multidisciplinary — reinforcing its commitment to a broader and more sophisticated understanding of the market. In a context where homogeneous solutions fail to anticipate risks and seize opportunities, plurality is not just a value but an essential requirement for analytical excellence and consistent results.

Fabio Alperowitch, founder and CIO of fama re.capital, remains at the helm of the investment strategy, ensuring the preservation of the critical and proprietary DNA that has established the firm as a reference in sophisticated, ethical, and forward-looking investing.

With this new structure, fama re.capital reaffirms its position as a critical, innovative, and long-term-oriented firm, ready to deliver proprietary financial solutions with high technical rigor and consistent impact — strengthening its leadership role in the future of responsible asset management in Brazil.
