Claudia Pinto’s journey is one of resilience, compassion, and innovation. Known for her penetrating gaze and no-nonsense approach, Claudia is deeply driven by her commitment to “make the world better than I found it.” Her impact in Dubai has been profound: during a global crisis, she led a non-profit initiative to feed over 10,000 workers, an effort that captured international attention and set a global record.
With a background in law from Portugal, Claudia made a successful transition to Dubai, where she became a leader in marketing and negotiation, helping international clients navigate business and governance in the UAE. Her extensive network, including memberships in organizations like the Rotary Jumeirah Club and Dubai Business Women Council, allows her to facilitate impactful connections for her clients.
Claudia’s philanthropic mission is shaped by the example of her father, Jode Dos Santos Pinto, a pioneering builder in Portugal who valued community care alongside business. Following in his footsteps, Claudia has embraced philanthropy in her role as Head Philanthropy Advisor at MBM Investments and Advisor to Humanity International Investment, both under the patronage of HRH Sheikh Marwan Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. She is focused on sustainable, poverty-eradicating investments in Africa, driving projects that empower communities.
A trained NLP practitioner and life coach, Claudia brings empathy and insight to her work, seeing beyond surface needs. Her dedication to philanthropy and sustainable development aligns with Dubai’s vision for 2030, making her a formidable advocate for change. Passionate about her daughter and the legacy she wants to leave, Claudia continues to inspire others by living her values of honesty, resilience, and community-focused leadership.
