Mr. Fonseca served as vice president, Packaging and Processing, for Beverages and Food in Brazil. In that role, he was responsible for start-up of a polyethylene terephthalate plastic operation, and grew the overall business at an annual rate of 20 percent. He was a director on multiple Tetra Pak boards, including for Packaging and Processing, Global Processing and Cluster Central and South America.

Mr. Fonseca holds degrees in mechanical and industrial engineering from Universidade Paulista, and in sales and marketing administration from Fundação Getulio Vargas, both in Brazil. He has completed the IFL-International Management Program at the Stockholm School of Economics and Duke University.
