Santander Brazil held on Tuesday morning (10/29) the event Challenges and Achievements of Entrepreneurship: How to Create the Present and Future of Your Business, at Getnet's new headquarters in Porto Alegre (RS). Led by economist Ítalo Franca from Santander, the event brought together over 80 entrepreneurs, who were able to learn from the experience of three prominent businesspeople in the Rio Grande do Sul scene: Sérgio Rosa, CEO of Banca do Holandês; Matheus Viezzer, Commercial Director of Viezzer Supermarkets; and Ricardo Frozi, founder of Recheadinhos.
The action is part of the Avançar program, a non-financial solution from Santander, aimed at supporting entrepreneurship. The goal is to promote panels for sharing stories, challenges, and lessons learned on the entrepreneurial journey. In addition to being a space for networking and exchanging experiences, it is also an inspiring moment to support entrepreneurs from different sectors.
Discover the highlights of Santander's Avançar program in Porto Alegre:
Sérgio Rosa, from Banca do Holandês, is one of the most well-known and respected figures in the Porto Alegre Public Market. Your business has over a century of tradition. Since its founding in 1907, it has maintained its original location and resilience, despite fires, floods, and major economic changes.
Businessman Matheus Viezzer, from Viezzer Supermarkets, joined his family's company at the age of 12 with the goal of understanding the entire supermarket operation routine. Within the organization, he has held various positions and is now responsible for the business. Viezzer is 37 years old and already a well-established network in Canoas. Last year, it began its expansion to Esteio and Porto Alegre.
Ricardo Frozi, from Recheadinhos, started entrepreneurship very early by renting out his video game tapes. He worked as a delivery boy, was a football player, drove a ride-sharing car, worked as a travel agent, among many other roles. That is until, in 2017, it created Recheadinhos, at Lomba do Pinheiro, a small stall selling stuffed cheese breads. Your focus has always been on quality and affordability, and with great effort, you have been building an admirable story.
