Jussara Souza | Founder of Esfera Plásticos
With 14 years as a Project Manager in Brazil, Jussara Souza built her career on strategic planning, process management and business development.
Her first contact with the plastic raw materials sector came during the pandemic, when she saw the potential of this market and began studying its business opportunities.
As she came to understand how the sector works, she saw a strategic opportunity: connecting Brazilian industry to the North American plastic resin market, offering access to international suppliers, competitive prices and quality materials.
In 2022, she moved to the United States and began extensive research and mapping of suppliers across all 50 states. As part of this process, she made technical visits and qualified suppliers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California, building a network of business partners.

A strategic partnership that strengthened Esfera
Along the way, Jussara was joined by Mike, her business partner, who came on board at Esfera Plásticos as U.S. Business Relations Representative.
Born in the United States and familiar with the local culture and negotiation style, Mike made an important contribution to the company's growth. His native English, ease of communication and understanding of American business practices helped open doors, bring suppliers closer and strengthen business relationships.
Combining Jussara's strategic vision and management experience with Mike's work in the American market created a mix of skills that strengthened Esfera's presence in the United States.

Esfera Plásticos today
Today, Jussara leads Esfera Plásticos' strategy and operations, while Mike supports relationships and negotiations with North American suppliers.
Together, they work to connect Brazilian industry with international supply opportunities, identifying raw materials that meet each customer's technical specifications, volumes and needs.
More than selling plastic resins, Esfera was founded with the purpose of building a business bridge between the United States and Brazil, combining market knowledge, direct relationships with suppliers and a commitment to quality.
