André has always been fascinated by the olive tree—its history, cultural significance, and the products derived from it. The tree’s resilience and strength, symbolizing hope and perseverance has always brought him admiration.

His first special connection to olive trees arose after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with his father. Visiting the Mount of Olives deepened his physical and spiritual bond with the olive tree.

Born in Salvador, Bahia, André later made Barcelona his home, where he founded his consulting firm MetaResultado. In his career, he has focused on continuous improvement within companies, tailoring solutions to their specific needs with a strong emphasis on achieving results.

What motivates him in this current project is the opportunity to help people, producers, and suppliers grow the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) market and oleotourism.
