Recognized among the top 30 technology leaders in 2024, the founder of FGMED is leading the expansion of Brazil’s largest continuing medical education platform throughout Latin America and the United States, driving innovation and social impact.
Dr. Faustino Júnior, founder and CEO of FGMED, stands out as one of the leading voices of innovation in Brazil. In 2024, he was recognized as the 5th among the 30 Most Influential in Technology in Brazil, reinforcing his visionary role in the EdTech sector. Recently, Forbes Mexico highlighted his impact as a leader at the helm of the country’s largest continuing medical education platform, solidifying FGMED’s position as one of the top EdTechs in Latin America.
With a strategic leadership focus on international expansion, Faustino has positioned FGMED in countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, and most recently, the United States, broadening the reach and impact of quality medical education in Latin America and beyond. Under his leadership, FGMED has trained over 100,000 professionals, becoming a reference in continuing medical education, with content tailored to the needs of each country and aimed at the global development of health.
Under Faustino’s direction, FGMED has been driving a true transformation for students and healthcare professionals across Latin America, providing high-quality medical content. By integrating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, Faustino aims to offer a personalized and accessible learning experience for all, empowering doctors and specialists in regions where access to high-quality education has been limited.
This trajectory of global impact is also evidenced by Faustino’s participation in international events such as BEYOND Expo 2024 in China. Representing Brazil, he highlighted FGMED’s role in the digital transformation of healthcare in Latin America and emphasized the growth opportunities for digital medical education in the region. For Faustino, Brazil’s development in the tech sector depends on incentive policies and robust infrastructure capable of attracting investments and strategic partnerships with Asian countries.
For tech entrepreneurs, Faustino offers pragmatic advice: “Don’t rush to go public without a solid operational base.” He suggests investing in tax planning, carefully seeking talent, and considering the Asian market as a significant potential. He also emphasizes the importance of participating in international events to establish connections and create opportunities for Brazilian startups.
In addition to his role at FGMED, Faustino founded the American Associates Alliance and launched the “Master in International Investments” program, now the largest networking program for technology investors. This program connects elite entrepreneurs and provides strategic support to drive innovations that transform markets and lives. Through his investment platform, FG Investments, Faustino supports startups with social and educational impact, broadening access to knowledge with cutting-edge technologies.
Further strengthening his role as a prominent figure on the global stage, Faustino recently participated in a strategic meeting with Prince Fahad bin Mansour bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al Saud during the Saudi Arabian delegation’s visit to Brazil. Reflecting on the meeting, Faustino stated, “This alliance strengthens diplomatic and business ties between Brazil and Saudi Arabia, positioning Brazil as a strategic partner for innovation and business on the international scene.”
With a continuous commitment to accessibility and educational quality, Faustino Júnior continues to position FGMED as one of the largest EdTechs in the global medical sector. The company continues to expand its operations and establish itself as a reference in medical education in Latin America and now also in the United States, with a clear mission to positively impact the lives of thousands of healthcare professionals around the world.
