JUIZ
FEDERAL SERGIO FERNANDO MORO
Judge Moro became a federal judge in 1996, one year after
completing his Bachelor of Law degree at the Maringa State University in his
home state of Paraná. He subsequently received a Juris Doctor from the Federal
University of Paraná in 2002. Before being called to preside over cases in the
Operação Lava Jato, Judge Moro worked on a number of other high-profile cases.
Notably, at the request of a justice of the Supreme Court, Dr. Moro served as
an auxiliary judge in the Mensalão case, which involved an unprecedented
investigation into a vote-buying scheme in the Brazilian Congress that
concluded in 2012. Because of his leadership in the Lava Jato case, he was
ranked 13th in Fortune's 2016 List of World's Greatest Leaders. He was also in
Time Magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People for the same year and
in 10th place on Bloomberg Businessweek's list of 50 Most Influential People in
the World of Finance. Our choice of Judge Moro is a recognition of his
judgement, his perseverance, and his courage in leading the fight against
corruption. His efforts have led to the higher ethical and moral standards in
business that the Chamber embraces. His application of the rule of law has
dramatically improved standards of corporate governance in Brazil and helped to
re-establish the country’s international credibility. Following the Person of
the Year Awards Gala Dinner, Judge Moro will receive an honorary doctorate from
the University of Notre Dame and serve as the 2018 commencement speaker.

towards ensuring better, longer lives for the greatest number of people, he has
taken The Giving Pledge, a commitment by the world's wealthiest individuals and
families to dedicate most of their wealth to giving back. The choice of Mr.
