25 Years of Investment in Brazil: EIC’s Story with Clarisse Rocha

In This Episode - Our host, Stuart Broadley, speaks with Clarisse Rocha, Regional Director for the Americas, to celebrate 25 years of EIC in Brazil. Clarisse reflects on her journey from engineering school to leading EIC’s largest global hub, sharing insightful reflections on confidence, overcoming prejudice, empowering young talent, and building a culture where people truly feel they belong. Together, they revisit the organisation’s history, from its early missions to South America in the 1940s to the establishment and expansion of the Rio office, and explore Brazil’s evolving energy landscape, from pre-salt and FPSOs to new frontiers in hydrogen, SAF, and biofuels.What Is the EIC? The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is one of the world’s largest energy trade associations. As a not-for-profit organisation, it supports more than 950 member companies involved in the global energy value chain. EIC operatesinternationally, with offices in London, Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro, Houston, Dubai, and soon, Berlin.It is energy agnostic, supporting all parts of the energy sector.
