About Renata Paula Afonso

As the Head of Compliance at Fresenius Medical Care, the world's leading provider of products and services for people with chronic kidney failure, I oversee the compliance function for 10 countries in Latin America. With my MBA in Corporate Finance and 25+ years of experience in risk, governance, internal and external audit, and compliance, I ensure the sustainability of control activities, compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and optimization of processes in a highly regulated and complex industry. My mission is to support the company's vision of delivering high-quality care to patients, while maintaining the highest ethical standards and integrity. I am a team leader and a team player, who values collaboration, open-mindedness, and excellence. I have successfully managed international assignments in the United States and Africa, and have worked in various segments of the oil and gas industry, such as upstream, downstream, aviation, chemicals, and health care. I am also proficient in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and have strong analytical and process improvement skills.
