The Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure recognized Dario with this prestigious award in the Mauá Cross (Cruz Mauá) category for his work with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), where he served as the head of the technical advisory unit to the president’s office.
“I feel deeply honored to be awarded a merit medal in the name of Barão e Visconde de Mauá, a brilliant Brazilian of the 19th century known for his initiatives and developments in the private sector, principally, in the markets related to infrastructure,” Dario remarked. “Barão de Mauá was a great entrepreneur who helped to develop the Brazilian economy and to enhance competition in the markets.”
