Amcham Awards 2022
Amcham Brasil is one of the largest and most influential business associations in Latin America, representing over 5,000 companies across diverse industries. With a mission to foster economic and commercial ties between Brazil and the United States, Amcham provides a platform for networking, business development, and knowledge exchange. Recognized for its extensive network and credibility, Amcham plays a vital role in supporting businesses by promoting best practices, driving innovation, and facilitating dialogue among industry leaders.
The inaugural Amcham Awards Brazil was a landmark project, bringing recognition to outstanding business practices among Amcham’s affiliated companies. As the project leader, I collaborated with DataTempo, a respected research institution in Brazil known for its rigorous data collection and analysis, to develop a comprehensive survey that would ensure an accurate and insightful evaluation of nominees. I defined the award categories, set objective selection criteria, and analyzed the research findings to identify winners. To maximize engagement, I crafted a promotional plan to encourage participation from Amcham’s extensive network, resulting in 2,535 votes for the 21 finalists competing across 7 categories.
Beyond the research and promotional efforts, I managed the full-scale organization of the award ceremony, aligning every detail with the event’s sustainability theme. I coordinated logistics, secured high-profile speakers like Alexandre Birman (CEO/CCO of Arezzo&Co) and Suelma Rosa (Head of Reputation and Corporate Affairs at Unilever Latin America), and ensured that the event upheld sustainable standards. This included using renewable energy, locally-sourced dinner, implementing sustainable decor, and arranging for all materials to be recycled after the event. My leadership in orchestrating the event not only resulted in a successful gathering of industry leaders but also earned significant media coverage, solidifying the awards as a respected recognition platform within the Brazilian business community.
“In the first edition of the Amcham Awards, the organization of the event stood out as a team effort by Amcham Belo Horizonte, led by Ana Teresa Campos, Amcham’s Business Development Analyst. Ana Teresa is another female leader emerging in the Minas Gerais market. She explained that every detail was carefully planned based on the ESG concept advocated by the organization.”
