Bruno Batista

CHAIRMAN

Bruno’s booming, radio-friendly voice makes it easy to guess how he began his professional career. He worked as a radio journalist for seven years, and it was this exciting experience that revealed to him that communication would be his future. And so it was. He swapped the microphone and the news for marketing and communication after joining Delta Cafés, where he worked on numerous projects, with innovation always playing a key role. This was followed by a job as head of marketing at Smartbox and the desire to found his own company – WMK – to which he added GCI 10 years later. Then came Virtual Arena, the Sustainable Society Initiative and, more recently, Media Consulting, Sonomage and Meraki.

As Chairman of GCIMEDIA GROUP, he enjoys entrepreneurship and challenging the people he works with every day. Political consultancy and public affairs are a lifelong passion and have become one of his main areas of expertise. It would be a mistake to think that this profile is all about business leadership, though. You should see him laughing and having fun with his three best friends, two cane corsos and a labrador!
