Early Life
Ruben Feffer's life is a blend of entrepreneurial heritage and artistic pursuit. Born into a family that built a significant fortune in the pulp and paper industry, he is one of four brothers who inherited and now control Suzano S.A.. Suzano, founded by their grandfather, Leon Feffer, has become a leader in the Latin American market. Ruben's early life was influenced by his family's business, yet he developed a strong interest in music from a young age.
Rise to Success
While his brothers continued to be involved in the management of Suzano, Ruben chose a different path. He pursued a career in music, becoming a classically trained pianist and composer. His breakthrough came with the score for the animated film "Boy and the World" (O Menino e o Mundo) in 2013, which received widespread recognition and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2016. This achievement brought international acclaim to Feffer's musical contributions.
Key Business Strategies
Ruben's approach to his career diverges from the typical business strategies of his family's company. Instead of directly participating in the management of Suzano, he focused on establishing himself as an independent artist. His key strategy has been to blend his technical skill with a deep emotional resonance that has captivated audiences through his film scores.
