Our Founder

Founder and Managing Partner

Before founding Agrisapien Traders, Paulo Peres spent over 30 years on Wall Street, and retired as Managing Director, Global Head of Counterparty Risk at J.P. Morgan. 

Paulo's experience with coffee runs even deeper, however. Born in São Paulo, Brazil at a time when kids drinking coffee was a normal part of every family’s life, coffee has been a daily constant since.

Paulo doesn’t consider this a habit but happy moments. That passion infuses everything we do at Agrisapien Traders, where Paulo has applied his business skills and knowledge of coffee to establish a company that aspires to be among the leaders in the specialty coffee space, beginning with green coffee from his native Brazil.
