Lima, Peru – Pericles, a visionary entrepreneur, has transformed his life from selling flags on the streets of Lima to becoming a driving force in the construction materials industry, building not just businesses but also communities. At the tender age of 14, Pericles left his native Huaura for Lima in pursuit of a better future. His first venture was selling flags and embroidered blankets in Plaza Italia, a testament to his early resilience. Through sheer determination, he balanced work and studies, eventually securing a position as an administrator in a bank. After eight years in the banking sector, Pericles decided to embark on his own entrepreneurial path. He founded a company dedicated to the distribution of construction materials. Despite initial doubts from many, he diligently trained, studied the market, and expanded his reach to even the most remote areas, notably offering credit to families aspiring to improve their homes. During the pandemic, Pericles returned to Lima, seizing a crucial opportunity to further expand his enterprise. His unwavering commitment extends beyond mere sales; he is dedicated to fostering the progress of others within the community. His journey serves as a powerful reminder that true success lies in building a community while simultaneously fulfilling one's own dreams.
