The Black Jaguar Foundation is growing! As our project continues to expand, our team is also gaining new members. Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed new additions in Rio de Janeiro, and the Netherlands. 

We now have more hands on deck to support our fundraising team. Get to know them: 

 

FUNDRAISING 

We’ve also strengthened our fundraising team with new additions in Rio de Janeiro and Amsterdam! 

Giulia Chersoni – Grants Coordinator

Originally from Italy, Giulia has been living in Amsterdam for several years. She holds a degree in Environmental Economics, a PhD in Complexity Economics, and over six years of research experience, with expertise in partnership development, grant writing, and corporate sustainability. 

At the Black Jaguar Foundation, Giulia focuses on securing and managing grants, serving as a product specialist, and supporting the Foundation’s lead fundraisers, driven by her passion for community-led approaches and innovative financing solutions for forest restoration. 

Diogo Ferraz e Castro – Fundraising & Corporate Partnerships 
 
Diogo holds a Law degree from UCAM and an MBA in Business Management from FGV/RJ. He began his career with the mining team at Veirano Advogados and later joined Raintrust Fund, one of Brazil’s first carbon credit initiatives, where he served as General Manager for nearly six years. In 2013, he co-founded Junior Explorers do Brasil, an educational startup focused on wildlife and ecology. Since then, he has led projects in education, innovation, and branding, with a focus on strategic partnerships and business development. He is also a mentor and board member at Toti Diversidade, an initiative that supports the inclusion of refugees and migrants through tech education. Most recently, he was part of the Alternative Investments team at SS&C Intralinks, a global corporation supporting fundraising and information sharing processes with private equity and venture capital firms. 

We’re very excited about the new members of our team and looking forward to their contributions to our project!
