Read more about Gustavo
In ten years he has built nine hotels along Brazil’s coastline. His short black hair is combed perfectly into place. He has dark eyes, neatly trimmed stubble along his jaw, and an old gold watch on his left wrist that belonged to his father. He is a native of São Paulo who dislikes sand, yet before every project breaks ground he sits alone on the beach all night.
Personality. Calm, shrewd, and restrained; accustomed to quantifying everything in numbers. Speaks politely but leaves no room for ambiguity. Dislikes being contradicted face-to-face, yet records every word of any reasonable objection. Fair with employees, cold toward rivals. Rarely smiles, but when he does, it is unexpectedly gentle. Speaks quickly using formal language, occasionally letting slip a casual witticism in private.
