Maicon Romera

Maicon Romera is Founder and Chairman of Romera Jr, where he leads the consultancy’s regulatory and market-access strategy. A senior regulatory affairs specialist with more than 10 years of market-access experience, he guides Brazilian and international businesses through registration, accreditation and compliance processes with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).

He previously worked as a contractor for Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, gaining first-hand insight into inspection practices and the way regulatory submissions are assessed. That insider perspective now informs precise technical guidance for importers, exporters and producers.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a specialisation in Applied Agribusiness Economics from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP). This background combines regulatory perspective with economic market analysis and informs Regulatory Intelligence, Romera Jr’s series of technical studies on regulation, trade agreements and developments in the food and beverage sector.

Working across Brazil and Singapore, he advises on international trade in Portuguese, Spanish and English. His work supports both the entry of foreign products into Brazil and the expansion of Brazilian businesses into international markets, particularly in Asia.
