Leading’s CEO, João Annibale, is completing 20 years at the helm of the company and in these two decades he has undergone numerous changes, such as in the market and technology. Therefore, he says there is only one objective: to go far beyond the expectations of guests.
“Just like every relationship, a relationship with one’s own career certainly has its ups and downs, and the secret to success is not giving too much value to the negative points while at the same time we must vibrate a lot, broadly and unrestrictedly with each success and achievement. After all, to be so successful, I am proud to say that I made mistakes many times, and that each mistake was a great learning experience and the certainty that I needed to improve.”
