Very few people get the opportunity to work with leaders like Hegel Braga. I have had the good fortune to work with Hegel over the past five years. Whether its collaborating on online learning, global education efforts, or discussing local markets, Hegel is tremendously thoughtful, inspiring, passionate, strategic, and direct in taking action. He is also one of the nicest people I have worked with over the years. Hegel is a true asset to any team.

Simon Beale

During his time at Wiley, Hegel continually impressed me with his mature and thoughtful leadership of our Brazilian business. Hegel is that rare combination of strong sales and marketing skills and a well rounded level of general management and appreciation of fundamental business drivers. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for another similar, or more senior role.
