RIPE Mário César Martins de Camargo 簡介

Mário César Martins de Camargo
President-elect 2024-25

Rotary Club de Santo André
São Paulo, Brazil

Mário César Martins de Camargo is a business consultant to the printing industry and former director
of Gráfica Bandeirantes, a printing company founded by his father. Under de Camargo’s leadership,
the company expanded to be a supplier of printed material for clients in Brazil and elsewhere in South

America.
De Camargo attended military school and graduated from a secondary school in St. Paul, Minnesota,
USA, during a Rotary Youth Exchange program. He had a yearlong internship at MAN Roland, a printing
press manufacturer in Offenbach, Germany, before he earned his undergraduate degree at the Fundación
Getulio Vargas’ São Paulo School of Business Administration. He also received his law degree from the
Faculty of Law of São Bernardo do Campo.

He has led numerous professional associations, including as president of the Brazilian Association of
Graphic Technology and ABIGRAF, the Brazilian Printing Industry Association. He was also delegate director
of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (FIESP) in the National Confederation of Industry,
vice president of FIESP, and vice president of the Latin American Confederation of the Printing Industry. He
received the Printing Leader of the Americas award from the Printing Association of Florida and the Global
Presidential Print Award from NPES, the Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing, and Converting
Technologies.

De Camargo joined Rotary in 1980 at age 23. A past director and trustee, he will be the fourth RI
president from Brazil. He has volunteered for numerous roles including RI learning facilitator, zone
coordinator for the Avoidable Blindness Task Force, Latin American coordinator for the Health Concerns
Task Force, RI president’s representative, and Council on Legislation representative. He has also served
on committees including the RI Membership Growth Committee, The Rotary Foundation Programs Finance
Committee, and the International PolioPlus Committee.

De Camargo says he is continually impressed by Rotary’s global reach. “With Service Above Self,
Rotary has created a unique global identity that is unlike any other I know,” he says. “I think we all need
to remember that we belong to an organization that opens up the world to us.”
During the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, de Camargo took on two projects: studying for (and

passing) the bar exam — 38 years after attending law school — and learning Italian. He also enjoys reading
history and biography books and appreciating good wine.
