Adair Vilella | Fractional COO

From an early age, inspired by my father who swam the English Channel, I’ve been a fervent goal-setter. His influence instilled in me a robust, athletic mindset, evident in our shared accomplishment of swimming Alcatraz five times. This mentality has been crucial in surmounting life’s challenges, including a critical car accident at 16, where I defied medical odds to walk again. This experience honed my resilience, empowering me to embrace and overcome the rigorous demands of entrepreneurship. At La Pausa Consulting, I’ve learned that starting a business, especially one that hinges on personal branding, is not for the faint-hearted. Facing rejections is deeply personal, yet each setback has only fueled my determination. Read more>>
