Gui never ceases to challenge organisations to create spaces where everyone can have access to opportunities, and where people can bring their true, unique selves to work. He joined Phillip Morris Brazil in 2016, where he led LGBTQ+ initiatives and founded the affiliate’s first ERG. Gui progressed at PMI with a dual career shift, moving from Marketing to People & Culture, from Brazil to Poland and most recently to the UK. Through these changes, he has become part of the global LGBTQ+ agenda by supporting the set-up of PMI’s global ERG, designing and deploying a new Inclusive Parental Policy, acting as member of the I&D Soundboard, and through his role as speaker on awareness and engagement sessions. Outside of his day job, Gui works towards supporting LGBTQ+ youth who struggle to feel confident in navigating the corporate world. To do so, he is a mentor, both in Brazil and in the UK (at the University of Birmingham), supporting students’ personal and professional development. For all the above, Gui has been invited to be a speaker at University of Sussex’s TEDx, is part of the judge panel for The Queer Student Awards, and was nominated for the British LGBT Awards 2021.
