INTERVIEW Paulo Cesena: one of Odebrecht TransPort’s main focuses is grooming teams 30 30 informa
service The Spirit of written by Álvaro Oppermann and Renata Meyer photo by Paulo Fridman Created in 2010, Odebrecht TransPort is growing and consolidating its standing as one of the leading transportation and logistics companies in Brazil. With net earnings of BRL 1.618 billion in 2011, its assets include SuperVia (a commuter rail system in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region), Rota das Bandeiras and Rota dos Coqueiros (highway systems), and Embraport, the country’s largest multipurpose private port terminal, in Santos, São Paulo. In this interview, Odebrecht TransPorts’s Executive Director Paulo Cesena, who has spent 14 of his 39 years with the Organization, underscores how, by investing in and operating infrastructure assets, the company is embarking on a new phase of entrepreneurship for the Organization, which is now a coparticipant in public services with a major social impact. Speaking to the Odebrecht Informa team in his office in São Paulo, Cesena revealed the strategies and opportunities of a company facing many challenges on the road ahead. He also believes there is a need for entrepreneurship focused on ongoing user satisfaction. “We must see ourselves as public service providers who are prepared to fulfill the expectations of our clients and users with promptness and excellence in our operations of trains, subways, highways, ports, and eventually, airports.” Odebrecht Informa – Odebrecht TransPort is a new company. It emerged within Odebrecht Infraestrutura (Infrastructure), and is still part of that company. How does the relationship between the two companies work? Paulo Cesena – There is a synergistic partnership between the two companies under the leadership of our Entrepreneurial Leader (CEO) Benedicto Junior. Odebrecht Infraestrutura contributes its competitiveness in Engineering & Construction, and Odebrecht TransPort focuses on investment, financing and operations. This partnership means we are always working together in a unique relationship with our clients during the planning and construction phase. OI – What is the main advantage of this synergy? Cesena – It is nationwide capillarity and proactivity. This relationship makes us better able to understand our clients throughout Brazil and to look ahead, coming up with relevant projects. This only happens when entrepreneur-partners are on the same page, with the common goal of serving clients and creating value. OI – Are acquisitions part of Odebrecht TransPort’s growth strategy? Cesena – Not exactly. Our difference lies in the development of new ventures, called greenfield projects. But we may occasionally make acquisitions that allow us to enter new lines of business. For example, we have purchased Embraport, which now allows us to see ourselves as a participant in the entire Brazilian container market. Also, we recently acquired a company that operates bulk liquid storage terminals because we want to be qualified to service clients such as Braskem, ETH Bioenergy, Odebrecht Oil & Gas (OOG) and others, as an experienced partner in these operations. informa 31
