Whenever we asked Mario Martinelli, the CEO of Super99, what is the key to be successful, he answered with two words: working hard. He started attending the University of Arkansas, barely speaking English. I cannot imagine how much effort he made to adjust to the different culture and to study without knowing perfect English.
“You will never retire from the company if you are the top in the organization.” “Always face a challenge or problem in front of you” These are some words from Mario that remained my mind.
At Unilever and P&G, they both emphasized geographical benefits that Panama have. In addition to the canal, Panama has a high connectivity to their primary markets, Brazil and Mexico. Multinational Headquarters law includes tax incentives, labor regulation incentives as well. The labor proportion of 10% foreigners to 90% Panamanians required by the Labor Code does not apply when foreigners working with the MHQ. knowledgeable and experienced individuals are gathered in Panama in this way. Visiting these companies allowed me to have clear understanding of benefits businesses have in Panama.
