Trajectory

Oriovisto Guimarães was born on March 12, 1947, in Batatais/SP. A graduate in Economics from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), he built a solid career as an entrepreneur and educator, being one of the founders of the Positivo Group , a leader in the technology and education sector.

During his youth, Oriovisto Guimarães was active in the student movement and a member of POLOP ( Revolutionary Marxist Workers' Political Organization ). In 1968, he was arrested at the 30th Congress of the National Union of Students in Ibiúna (SP), a landmark event in the opposition to the military dictatorship. Due to his activities, he was registered by the DOPS (Department of Political and Social Order) as a student leader to be monitored. Selected for an academic program at Harvard by the Inter-American University Association, his passport was denied by the military regime, preventing his participation. Today, he considers himself a former Marxist, acknowledging that his former adherence to Marxism was linked to resistance against the authoritarian government of the time.
