Alexandre Costa Barbosa

I was born in Brazil and lived there until my university graduation as a mechanical engineer. Since then I have lived in France, Qatar and Spain and speak 4 languages Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. International diplomacy and commerce were always an interest of mine, which led to a Master’s degree in International Trade from École Supérieure de Gestion in Paris. I began my career in Paris in the Marketing department of the reputable beauty conglomerate, L’Oréal Group, followed by an intercultural experience in UNESCO, focused on Creative Industries. The entrepreneurial spirit has been present throughout my professional path, reaching the realization of my life project in 2010 with the creation of B2 International Consulting in Sao Paulo. Today, B2IC is present in 3 different continents with offices in Brazil, Qatar and Spain. My personal and professional paths in multicultural environments along these past years has been an enriching learning experience, which exposed me to a melting pot of cultures and challenges, but also has prepared me to be able to work successfully in a continuous mode of adaptation with people from diverse backgrounds, levels and walks of life.
