How Pedro is building a better working world

"I always seek the contribution that comes from the diversity and inclusion of the people I interact with and the teams I lead. Leading by example, with a legacy mindset and the ambition to develop a new generation of successful professionals who are well integrated into the communities in which they operate, has been my guiding principle. Striving to maintain a healthy balance between the professional and personal lives of my team has been a demanding challenge, but one that has always remained a priority for me".
