Philippe is a former systems analyst who abandoned his career in technology and instead he chose education as his mission in life to see the real impact of his work. He started his first steps by helping his classmates still in high school. As he entered USP, he decided to give back a little of what he would receive during graduation and became a volunteer teacher at EDUCAFRO and at the Escola da Família project of the São Paulo City Hall.
All this gave him the basis to build a business of social impact that is Ih, Aprendi!
