| Irlau Machado, former CEO of Intermedica (Hapvida) - passion and profit in Brazilian healthcare | 06 Feb 2025 | 01:00:38 | |
Irlau Machado was the CEO of Intermedica from its acquisition by Bain Capital, through eventual IPO until the merger with Hapvida in 2022. We discuss his personal transformation after receiving a cancer diagnosis in his 30s, the career changes that resulted and insights from his subsequent experience running one of the largest healthcare businesses in Brazil. He explains the logic behind the transformation in Brazilian healthcare over the last decade and teaches us about leadership in a service industry where balancing costs and quality can be easily misconstrued. | |||
| Dennis Herszkowicz, CEO of Totvs - entrepreneur to executive and the human aspects of M&A | 28 Nov 2024 | 00:53:56 | |
Dennis is the CEO of Totvs, the leading ERP software provider in Brazil. As you will hear, this is someone with incredible drive and ambition who has been involved in over 50 M&A transactions in his career. He shares his personal journey, from entrepreneur to executive, and his motivation to keep pushing forward. Despite his profile, this is not a well known aspect of his story. We also have the privilege of learning from his vast M&A experience. I would go as far as to say that you can't fully understand the future of Totvs under his leadership without listening to this conversation. | |||
| Carlos Rojas Aboumrad, CEO of Rotoplas - family, innovation & servant leadership | 06 Nov 2024 | 00:44:24 | |
Carlos is the CEO of Rotoplas, a family-controlled Mexican water products and services company with operations across the Americas. This is at its core a conversation about managing a Family business; the long arc of preparing the next generation to lead, and knowing when to step aside. Recognising when perpetuating a business for the long term requires a new skillset. In this episode Carlos talks in depth about his focus on embedding innovation processes across the company. We also cover his evolution as a leader, how through personal trauma he discovered the concept of servant leadership and how it allows him to find balance and continue to push forward personally and professionally. There is a lot to take away here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. | |||
