During her many years of executive experience, Marise built an impressive reputation as a highly successful female CEO who was twice named one of the 10 Best Business Managers in Brazil. Her wide success is due in large part to her firm belief in the importance of relationships and human beings as an essential component of the value chain of any company or organization.
