From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the pinnacle of global business, our first speaker is a living testament to the power of determination and the benefits of hard work.
He is a man who once dreamed big while facing life’s harshest realities. His father was a flowerist in Brazil, who passed away young because of harmful exposure to agricultural chemicals. The young boy had no time to play football. He supported his mother raising the family, he worked hard and aspired to learn. He made his way to a United States University and this education changed his life.
Today, he is a strategic advisor to half of the Fortune 50 companies. He is the guiding force behind the prestigious Global Excellence, Innovation & Transformation Awards. Having walked the paths of Sony, Andeavor, Black & Veatch, and Nestle, our speaker has witnessed firsthand the complexities and opportunities of innovation. Globally. And he is ready to share the lessons he learned with us.
