Carolina C. Cordeiro

Investor, advisor, board member and M&A Specialist

About

I am an Investor, Advisor, Board Member and M&A Specialist. 

After working as a managing Director in one of the most prestigious Management Consulting firms globally, I dedicated to my own ventures and partnerships.

In 2025, after 6 months of operating on my own, I established 6 new businesses, acquisitions and partnerships across Australia and internationally. My portfolio includes industries such as agriculture, mining, food, education, engineering and properties partnering with companies that reach up to +50 years of experience in their respective industries. There is no magic, these are all results of 23 years of experience, credibility in the market, great partnerships and outstanding methodology for decision making.

I believe in clear vision and excellence on execution, while building collaborative and exceptional teams that don’t just make an impact, they deliver. My unique perspective allows me to make strategy accessible regardless of team or business size.

I am always on the look out for good opportunities to invest in, partnerships, and collaborations; setting up new businesses or scaling up existing ones, in the same market or internationally.

Experience

I am driven by a singular mission: to create and transform profitable and sustainable businesses with meaningful purpose and amazing teams.

I believe in the pillars of clear vision, excellence on execution, while building collaborative and exceptional teams and delivering tangible outcomes. Being accountable of leading multi-billion-dollar transformations and building companies that have gone from ideation to scale in less than a year, with teams with over 2000 people in multiple countries, allowed me to learn what makes a difference for a businesses and a teams to succeed.

My unique perspective, shaped by working across diverse industries and global markets, allows me to make strategy accessible to any business, large or small. With over two decades of experience as a senior executive, dealmaker, and transformation leader, I have a proven track record of delivering consistent results for both my own ventures and my clients, working on more than 100 projects in 20+ countries. And this journey taught me to deconstruct and rebuild companies amplifying their strengths linking to their vision and delivering value on the way. 

Everyday I leverage this experience on boards and with partnerships to create outstanding and lasting outcomes.
