Renowned Brazilian entrepreneur, investor, and media personality Cris Arcangeli has been officially named to the Faces of Impact 100 (FOI 100) — one of the flagship global initiatives under the Faces of Impact platform.
FOI 100 (Faces of Impact 100) is one of the cornerstone projects of the Faces of Impact global platform — created to honor 100 changemakers each year whose work is shaping the future across sustainability, innovation, leadership, and social transformation.
Arcangeli was selected for her trailblazing role in promoting women-led entrepreneurship, business innovation, and social inclusion. From founding Phytoervas and Éh Cosméticos to mentoring entrepreneurs on Shark Tank Brasil, she has spent decades building companies and platforms that empower the next generation — especially women from underserved communities.
“Empreender Liberta isn’t just a phrase — it’s a mission,” Arcangeli shared. “It means building freedom through entrepreneurship, especially for women who’ve been told they don’t belong in the room.”
As part of her recognition, Arcangeli was interviewed by Faces of Impact founder Artem Shestakov, who captured both her story and portrait for the upcoming Faces of Impact Book and Faces of Impact Magazine — publications spotlighting purpose-driven leaders across continents. She will also be honored during the upcoming Faces of Impact Gala and Portrait Exhibition at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
The Faces of Impact team praised Arcangeli’s legacy as “a bold force in Brazilian entrepreneurship — someone who doesn’t just break barriers, but opens new doors for others.”
Her inclusion in Faces of Impact 100 marks a global celebration of leadership rooted in courage, creativity, and impact.
