Francisco Leite | The Executive MBA
ADVENTUROUS ENTREPRENEUR READY TO BLAST ANY CHALLENGE
Francisco knows how to solve and overcome obstacles.
His Mining Engineering degree allowed him to learn crucial skills that helped Francisco create his first company O-Pitblast, in 2016, currently valued at several million euros. O-Pitblast is a market leader in Blast Design Software Simulators – a software to plan operations using explosives in mining and construction sites.
As a highly focused person, Francisco is constantly exploring new skills, which motivated him to specialize in Sales & Marketing, and now he runs a business with clients in more than 35 countries. His entrepreneurial and resilient character makes it easier for Francisco to regularly step out of his comfort zone, open new markets, and create new opportunities for the products and projects he idealizes.
Francisco is also an avid explorer who visited 40 countries and lived and worked in the most inhospitable places like Amazonia Forest, Sahara Desert, Andes Mountains, and Siberia.
