From Physical Education Professor to Global Cosmetics Entrepreneur: Ricardo Gomides' Success Story Mairiporã, Brazil – Ricardo Gomides' life took an unexpected turn when he traded his career as a university physical education professor for the dynamic world of cosmetics. This transformation began with his marriage to Mayara, a pharmacist, and a shared vision to expand their family's business. Their journey is a testament to perseverance and strategic partnerships. "When I met my wife," Ricardo explains, "the family already had a cosmetics business. Then, an opportunity arose to acquire another industry, and she invited me to join." Their business, initially focused on the domestic market, quickly expanded thanks to a clear vision and the support of Bradesco bank. Now, their products are exported to four continents. "Who thinks about exporting today needs to dream big," Ricardo emphasizes, "because dreaming small or big requires the same effort. We're already shipping to four continents, and soon we hope to reach Oceania." The story of Ricardo and Mayara is an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs, demonstrating that with dedication, strategic planning, and the right financial backing, even the most ambitious goals can be achieved.
