Edward Kellow

I first met Leonardo in 2011 when he approached me about developing leadership projects in deprived urban settlements in Brazil. From an early age, Leonardo got to know people living in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. He admired their human values, their creativity and their ability to re-invent themselves on a daily basis. Now living in Madrid, Leonardo is using his experience of working in business in Europe to build bridges between citizens living in favelas, global corporations and government. It takes vision, strong personal values, highly developed networking and communication skills, and determination to build successful working alliances across different sectors, cultures and continents. I'd like to say Leonardo learned all these skills from the LEAD Europe programme, but LEAD is only a part of Leonardo's leadership journey. I'm very happy to recommend Leonardo for his commitment to helping communities initiate and develop projects that create jobs and reduce poverty and inequality.

      Global Projects Direction (Reporting directly to the Directorate). Main objectives were to develop an unique organizational culture to the whole business group through the convergence with common projects, business process optimisation and best initiatives identification taking opportunity on sinergies.Main areas of managed projects:Sustainability, Strategic Initiatives, Client Orientation, Cost effective operations, Control Centralization, Increase and promotion of synergies in Telefónica's Group and Business Convergence (approximately 280 companies, 20 different business sectors), Direct participation in Bellsouth acquisition process by Telefónica Móviles (Movistar) and Business processes synergy projects with O2 and Telefónica’s Companies (focus on supply chain sustainability initiatives). Average Projects Budgets: From 1 to 6 millions Euros.* One innovative [at that time] and key success factor was to, literally, put down all the walls in order to connect all the teams under my responsibility in a unique space of safeness. I set up the offices in an "open plan" because I know the value of integration and working face-to-face, and the importance of facilitating the creation of systemic patterns through which each group can sense larger systems of the whole project. The unimpeded flow of information helped the success. Show less
