About Me

Ricardo Faria founded Global Eggs (known in Brazil as Granja Faria) in 2018 when he started buying up farms across Brazil. The company reached an $8 billion valuation in 2026 when it secured a $1 billion investment from New York-based private equity firm Warburg Pincus. In 2025, Global Eggs acquired Pennsylvania-based Hillandale Farms for $1.1 billion. Faria, who majored in agronomic engineering, got his entrepreneurial start when he founded a laundry company for hotel linens and uniforms in 1997. He sold it to French group Elis nearly 20 years later for almost $400 million. Faria is the CEO and owns 82% of the Luxembourg-based company.
