He was named a member of the Presidency of the Seventy on March 31, 2018. In the Saturday morning session of general conference on April 6, 2024, President Dallin H. Oaks announced that Elder Godoy will be released from the Presidency of the Seventy on August 1, 2024. He will continue his service as a General Authority Seventy.
Godoy was born on February 4, 1961, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from Pontificia Universidade Catolica in 1987. He also earned a master’s degree in organizational behavior from Brigham Young University.
In 2004, he started a consulting company called CHANGE Consult-Organizational Development. He has worked as the regional sales manager and national training manager of Johnson & Johnson, human resources manager for United Technologies-Otis Elevator, and South America human resources manager for Dow Corning. He was also the director of ZF Sachs in South America.
