Are you a Hoya? SFS 06, JD 09 here...
Travel times to GRU vary considerably. Without traffic or rain, 30 minutes would be enough from Avenida Paulista (I lived in Cerqueira César, at Av. Paulista and R. Haddock Lobo), near the Rennaissance Hotel. With traffic, double it, and any time it rains in São Paulo the roads become quite chaotic. I would allow 1 hour to be safe.
I think the longest it ever took me was 1hr15min in pouring rain and rush hour traffic. The shortest was during Easter weekend without any traffic, at around 25 minutes.
