After three musical projects, record production and his journey in the investment and financial advisory company Merrill Lynch, João Roquette has dedicated himself to the production of wine and olive oil for over a decade, in a responsible and inspiring way.
Considered Personality of the Year 2018 by Revista de Vinhos, he was responsible for the internationalization of the Esporão brand and for the extension of the business areas with the acquisition of Quinta dos Murças and the craft beer SOVINA, having worked as well in the area of sustainability, through organic agriculture, traditional and integrated production of native varieties and optimized resource management.
An advocate that companies must be consistent and true to what they believe in to get people on board, João believes that the corporate world is responsible for many of the challenges that humanity has to solve, the main one being climate change.
