Juliana & Roberto Sallouti

During their 25 years of marriage, Juliana and Roberto have shared a passion to contribute to a better Brazil for the benefit of the generations to come, including their 3 children. The couple donates to the educational institutions that they attended and, through Instituto V5 (which they founded), they support social projects in the areas of education, sports, arts, environment and citizenship.

Roberto graduated from the Graded School and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He serves as the CEO of Banco BTG Pactual, and is also on the boards of BTG Pactual, Banco Pan, Mercado Livre and Febraban. He was a member of the board of directors of Graded School for eight years, including five years as president, and is currently on the advisory boards of Parceiros da Educação, BRASA, and Wharton for Latin America. As part of his commitment to helping to educate future generations, Roberto created endowments to enable underprivileged Brazilians to attend Wharton and the Graded School.

Instituto V5 supports projects to train public school teachers and administrators, invest in school infrastructure, and provide sports activities and academic coaching for youth in Ibiúna, São Paulo. Instituto V5 also regularly donates to Parceiros da Educação, Instituto Apoia, Alladin, Dentistas do Bem, RenovaBR, MASP and Centro Nacional de Conservação da Flora.

Ballet Paraisópolis

Ballet Paraisópolis is located in the Paraisópolis favela, the second largest favela in São Paulo, home to 60,000 residents. The Ballet was founded in 2012, and attends 200 students yearly. Their eight-year long program is free to the students, and uses dance as a tool for social transformation to develop each student’s cognitive skills. The program prepares the students for the challenges in the workforce, providing the students possibilities for new life opportunities, regardless if they pursue a career in ballet. Ballet Paraisópolis is a 2019 BrazilFoundation grantee.
