Alexandre Estanislau

Bolt Brasil

Belo Horizonte, Brazil
I was a skateboarder for more than thirteen years and I’ve been a musician since 1987, which gave me the opportunity to record a few songs and to travel a lot.

I always had a passion for drawings and because of this I decided to study Graphic Design at the University of Minas Gerais.

After having worked a lot as an employee I decided to open my own business and created Bolt®Brasil, which I enjoyed a lot, however, it was taking so much of my time that I decided to become a sport fisherman to release the stress.

After a few years as a successful businessman I went back to school and completed my degree in Marketing. I was teaching so many classes that I didn’t have any more free time, so I stopped teaching, and decided to take up scuba diving as a hobby.

Bolt®Brasil is doing very well, I still have my skateboard but don’t use it anymore, I still keep playing my bass guitar and I’m always fishing. Recently I’ve created an event called “Quinta Digital”, that gathered together a bunch of interesting professionals to discuss a new model of communication. This event was so successful that was taken to many other cities in Brazil.

Nowadays I’m back teaching, I’m delivering speeches and presentations, I’ve been fishing when it’s possible, I still play my bass with friends and as always, I’m still working hard and creating interesting things.
