Ricardo Peduzzi Pic
It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that we must inform you that Mr. Ricardo Peduzzi, Executive Director and co-founder of the Brazil-Texas Chamber of Commerce, passed away the morning of August 28th, 2012.

Mr. Peduzzi was a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and held an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, AZ. Mr. Peduzzi was actively involved in the community, building bridges between his native Brazil and Texas, which he loved. Mr. Peduzzi played an instrumental role in numerous trade missions to Brazil, including the one led by Mayor Parker in the Spring of 2012.  Through his good work, Texas ties with Brazil are dynamic, strong and growing.

Ricardo Peduzzi was an exemplary Texan and a dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed.
