Originally from Rio, Pierre Pereira da Silva moved to Paris at the age of 17 to study economics. The 36-year-old arrived in Luxembourg at an investment fund focused on renewable projects, where he became project manager. In 2017, Pierre co-founded Foozo, a meal delivery company. “Bringing joy to its customers" is Foozo’s aim. Under his leadership, the company has become the Luxembourg market leader in connected fridges and has forecast 50% growth by 2023.

The Brazilian works almost 14 hours a day, because “at my level, the responsibilities are enormous and they don’t wait.” What are his values? Collaboration, the environment and the quest for excellence.
