Fernando Antonio Simões has been working at the Company for 40 years and is the CEO of SIMPAR, a publicly held holding company listed on B3 that controls Movida, JSL, Vamos, Automob, CS Brasil, CS Infra and BBC Digital Bank. He is the chairman of the board of directors of JSL, Movida and Vamos (the 3 publicly held companies of the group) and a member of the board of directors of SIMPAR. Serving the Company since he was 14, the executive has dedicated himself to expand the business founded by his father, Julio Simões, in 1956. Between the 1990s and the 2000s, Mr. Simões comanaged the Company alongside his father and led the process of diversifying its operations and logistics services and later the IPO of JSL, in 2010.

Continuing this transformation process, the executive structured the Company in business units and later in independent companies. Then, he led the corporate reorganization that simplified the group’s structure under a management model with SIMPAR as a holding company and the controller of the companies with fully independent management and operations, in line with his management model.  As part of this process led by the executive and carried out by more than 36,000 employees of the group, Simpar has been expanding greatly in the segments of mobility, infrastructure and sanitation – sectors that are essential and present in the real economy – and providing financial products and services, consolidating it as one of Brazil’s largest corporate groups. These represent our culture and values fostering the group’s development.
