Olivia Aguiar, based in São Paulo, is a consultant at Egon Zehnder’s Human Resources Practice Group. She serves CEOs, CHROs, and Boards on succession and leadership decisions that shape long-term organizational outcomes.

I am inspired by earning the trust of leaders and standing beside them in the defining moments that shape careers, strengthen organizations, and ultimately build institutions that endure.
