The 10 Most Influential Leaders to Follow in 2022

EDITORS NOTE
For a Leader in business, leadership has more to do with
getting the job done. So, it becomes crucial to take
important decisions with a lot of patience and research.
Managing the team and putting the best people at the
best place brings the best out of the team. When innovation
and technology are the buzz the business leader
takes the courage to implement it in the organization.
As it gives a competitive edge over all the competitors
and the companies. As the quote from Spiderman goes,
“With great power comes great responsibility”. The
leader represents the people in the business that is a big
responsibility. The motive is serving people for good
and making a difference in their lives.
eadership in other words means Power. A
L
leader has a great influence on the people
he/she leads, and the actions taken by him
directly impacts the life of the people. Before
we begin the editorial on leadership, who exactly is
considered a leader? Let’s try to be reasonable and
make justice by answering the question through this
editorial.
Anyone who keeps others first and leads should be
considered a leader. The one who supports motivates
and is always ready to help others is a good leader. A
leader can be anyone, just like the healthcare workers
working to save lives in the tough times of
pandemic. They took the stand to save humanity,
risking their lives and can be called a leader. Our
parents who work day in day out for us, sacrificing
their own dreams to fulfill ours are leaders. In the
same way, there are leaders in society who are
always there for people in times of need.
Leadership is a calling too. The very fact that you worry
about being a good leader makes you already one. To
the world, they may be a leader, but to us they are Hero.
It is the act of a leader to awake creativity and knowledge
in the business and society. The involvement with
the team members in the company brings the best out of
the employees. As Benjamin Franklin righty quotes -
“Tell me and I Forget, teach me and I Remember,
involve me and I Learn”. Leaders can change the world,
examples are Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk.
They involve in the ever-learning process of innovation
as there is always something to improve. The best part
of being a leader is holding the power to mold the team
and build a knowledge-based society. Although the
position is challenging but success tastes sweeter when
earned. And failure is a part of it.
With such ability to bring the change in the business or
society Insights Success features such business leaders

updating sessions on companies, bankruptcy proceedings,
and yearbooks specialized in law.
Throughout his distinguished professional career, he
has led multidisciplinary legal teams that support his
clients' advancement and success in business by
imparting a new understanding of their needs.
About Grispo Abogados
Founded in 1985 by Dr. Grispo, Grispo Abogados
performs intense professional work being one of the
most recognized Argentine law firms nationally and
internationally. The firm was a pioneer in the development
of ISO quality standards for all the legal services
it provides. Since 2004, it has had the ISO 9001
Certification granted by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). It
allows the provision of its legal services to be systematized,
improve operational efficiency, and increase
the degree of satisfaction of its clients since the
objectives are established by evaluating their needs
under the highest quality standards.
It currently has a remarkable team of highly specialized
professionals. It focuses on the restructuring of
liabilities (insolvencies and bankruptcies), corporate
solutions for SMEs and Large Companies, and as well
as corporate problems. The growth of Grispo Abogados
has been driven by the strengths of its client
service, especially its acumen in problem-solving and
its ability to put the interests of clients first.
Its mission is to be a relevant Law Firm that serves
national and international clients in a wide range of
legal matters, maintaining a unique culture focused on
teamwork, a collaborative work environment, and
strong professional ethics.
Becoming an Author
The passion for law, its study, and teaching were the
main engines that mobilized Dr. Grispo’s career. Up to
the present moment, he has published 47 books and
more than 500 articles in the main legal media and
newspapers in Argentina. Excellence as a constant
search in solving its clients' problems is the main goal
that the firm pursues in its day-to-day.
An Elite-Clientele Base
Grispo Abogados' clients are Large Companies,
Communication Media such as Television Channels,
Medical Institutions, Hotels, Retail Brands, and
industries of various fields. In all cases, the main
loyalty factor of their client portfolio is based on
understanding their needs and providing excellent
legal solutions on time. It maintains a personal,
permanent, and fluid communication that allows it to
make the necessary adjustments and updates in a
world that changes almost daily. We are "fans" of our
clients and we jealously guard their rights.
Overcoming Challenges Successfully
Challenges are all part and parcel of the journey. The
main challenges Grispo Abogados faced throughout
more than three decades of professional experience
were several. Regardless of the setbacks, it has highlighted
it maintains excellence in the provision of its
legal services and full-time dedication to the needs of
its clients.
At the same time, Grispo Abogados has stayed
up-to-date with not only the subject of law but also
with the competencies of each client depending on
their field. A situation in Dr. Grispo's case led him to
take a Master in Business Administration with various
training courses. The second challenge that it highlights
is that of maintaining a team of excellent
professionals, not only recruiting them but keeping
them, accompanying them in their professional
development and the growth of their careers. We have
the same commitment that we put towards the attention
of our clients to our lawyers, who are the main
base of our daily work. We are a demanding law firm,
but at the same time give a lot to all its members.
11

Customer-Centric to the Core
Grispo Abogados is a long-standing firm known for
its excellence and top-notch services. The professional
prestige it has achieved is of being recognized as
one of the main and most serious law firms. The
credit goes to its policy of thinking long-term, always
putting the needs of its clients first. As Dr. Grispo said
before, we are "fans" of our clients and give everything
to them. The firm has developed the ability to
understand their needs, but it also understands that, as
lawyers, it must find the legal path to take them to the
place where clients want to be. We are not a law firm
that has a "can't do" policy. For us, it is very important,
always within the framework of the law, to find
the appropriate and valid legal path to meet the
objectives of our clients.
Also, Dr. Grispo’s favorite quote is a phrase from
Aristotle: We are what we do every day. So excellence
is not an act but a habit. He abides by this quote and
follows it in his life.
Embrace the Golden Rule of Giving Back
Dr. Grispo believes that it is essential to think in terms
of serving society, where the company develops its
activities. A great example of this is companies like
AMAZON or Appel that understand the need to
contribute to society by giving back a part of their
profits in many ways. Each company is a world apart,
with its own needs, strengths, and weaknesses, but in
all cases, social responsibility his a determining factor
Recalling for success. Which, the First on the Challenge other hand, is an aspect
highly valued by the new generations of young
people.
Dr. Jorge pens a Day in his Life
My working day starts very early, at 5.45 AM. I am
very strict and demanding with my daily routines on
which I build my way of working. I arrive at the
office at 7:30 a.m. and work continuously until 5:00
p.m. Work meetings with the various staff teams,
review of issues, legal strategy meetings, case analysis
meetings, etc. We work permanently as a team,
and all the members of the same participate in the
meetings, each one contributes their own and together
we give the best to the client. At 5:00 p.m. I hang up
my lawyer's suit -except in exceptional cases where it
was okay to take care of some urgent issue- and I
dress like a tennis player, which is one of my
passions, I train two hours a day and I frequently
compete on the national tennis circuit. I also have
painted as a hobby, in which I am self-taught, but I
have developed a modest ability that allows me to
produce good paintings. They best occupy the walls
of our offices. Reading and studying are also an
important part of my daily work, which ends around
11 pm.
Wisdom from Great Books
Dr. Grispo is an ardent reader. He reckons that he
can't point out a favorite book, since he is a regular
reader and each book he reads brings him something
significant. Barak Obama's A Promised Land is a
fundamental book for understanding part of recent
history. The Urgent Republic of Sebrelli and Guyot is
also a book that allows everyone to understand part of
what is happening in Argentina, a country that is
currently going through a complex situation. Like An
Argentine Story by Jorge Fernández Díaz, the work of
Machiavelli has fascinated Dr. Grispo by the reading
of Discourses on the first decade of Tito Livio, a work
of essential reading. The same can be said of Pierre
Hador's book The Inner Citadel, an important philosophical
work. There are many more noteworthy
works but the above is an example of his all-time
favorites from his diverse reading choices.

Kelli Maxwell
Ember Marketing Group | founder
16

Since Kelli Maxwell was little, she knew that she
wanted to be her own boss, but she wasn’t sure
how. “Defiant” is what the adults that raised Kelli
would describe her as. She comes from a Montana
ranch family with a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial
spirit. She worked for a financial firm for ten
years and in that time, she worked her way into the
position of marketing director. She also discovered that
she had a talent and love for marketing, but insurance
is boring and old-school advertising methods like
newspaper and local tv were on their way out. Kelli
didn’t feel fulfilled. It was during this time that she
created her first company, Ever After Events, A
Princess Party company, where Kelli and her team
would dress up as popular princess characters and
perform at birthday parties and events. This is where
Kelli’s gift for working with people and creating
authentic content blossomed. She started taking on
several freelance clients and decided to quit her
full-time job and make the leap to starting her agency.
So, Kelli founded Ember Marketing Group, which
specializes in Authentic Brand Amplification. Creating
videos and content tailored to each client, the agency
handles all aspects of digital marketing from content
creation to ads, copy, and PR. In the last year, Kelli
founded another brand of her business, Ember Marketing
the Group. This organization is designed for
start-ups and small businesses with no marketing
budget. A subscription-based private group, it provides
knowledge, tips, and action items to market start-ups as
well as one on one monthly strategy sessions with each
member.
Helping Clients to Grow
According to Kelli, Ember Marketing Group works
with clients from every industry. From custom epoxy
floors to home builders to realtors to gyms to pharmacies
and coffee companies and more. Kelli takes pride
in working with PEOPLE. She sees first-hand that so
many agencies just offer cookie-cutter marketing
packages and create generic industry-related content,
without even getting to know their clients. Ember
Marketing Group focuses on spending so much
time with its clients that Kelli and her team can
authentically market them and their company
through videos, photos, captions, and copy that is
perfectly on brand for them. All of the marketing
group’s packages are customized to each client’s
specific needs and brand. The agency has continued
to grow and expand along with services and
platforms such as TikTok. Ember Marketing Group
doesn’t believe in locking people into contracts;
Kelli prefers to let her work speak for itself as
proven by her track record. Once a client signs on
with the company, they don’t leave, in fact most of
her client base has been with her since the agency’s
inception. The agency does an exceptional job
going above and beyond for each client and positioning
them as THE expert of what they do,
through the content it produces for them.

Tackling Challenges
Personally, Kelli’s biggest challenge was learning
how to delegate and manage her time to ensure that
it is spent doing what she is best at, which includes
meeting with people, strategizing, and filming with
her clients. She had to fill in the holes on the
backend for bookkeeping, social media management,
processes, and systems to grow. She currently
has two independent contractors on her team and
one full-time employee. As an agency, she found
her biggest challenge was the huge disconnect
between the established businesses that can afford
17

the video production and social media management
they need and the start-ups who desperately need it but
can’t afford it. Multiple times a week she has conversations
with small businesses who have been taken
advantage of by a salesman claiming to be a marketer
or a cookie-cutter agency who overcharged and
under-delivered. Kelli’s solution for serving these
people at a price they can afford is Ember Marketing
the Group. Along with her business partner Chareese
Jorgensen, Kelli teaches members of the group basic
content creation and marketing principals. She and her
team assists them with creating their content, encouraging
them through the process and strategizing with
them, identifying the best methods to grow their
business per their industry, at a small price point that
they can afford.
When Going Gets Tough
Shortly after Kelli resigned from
her previous job and started her
agency, she went through a divorce.
With suddenly no security net and
no backup plan, Kelli burned
through her savings and had to sell
her house and move in with her best
friend to survive. That friend along
with her supportive community at
the gym were instrumental in
getting Kelli through that first year.
She refused to give up and look for
a job so it was do or die for Kelli.
She gave that first year and a half
everything she had to make it on
her own and she is happy to report
that in just three years she has
purchased her first investment
property, has plans to build a house
this year, and has built a six-figure
marketing agency that continues to
grow. This came from a willingness to celebrate
doing the hardest things in life and business and
continuing to push forward despite the hardships.
Future Roadmap
Kelli’s company continues to grow rapidly. She is
most excited about continuing to expand her client
base and team, growing Ember Marketing Group’s
subscription group to help start-ups, and continuing to
grow her brand as one of the best marketers of her
generation. Kelli is also working on her first book
and she can’t wait to debut that in the coming year.
Suggestions for Young Entrepreneurs
Kelli says, “The hardest part of working with
start-ups is when reality sets in. Everyone has
brilliant dreams and ideas and when they finally
take the leap and launch, they quickly find out it is
a steep and gruelling climb just to break even.
Make sure your personal relationships are strong,
your time management is stronger and you have the
fortitude to overcome the discouragement, dips, and
hits that come with any start-up. Do your research
and make sure your idea is viable for your audience
and you have a strong chance of building a brand or
company that can
survive and generate
revenue.”

- Director

We often use the phrase “two steps forward,
one step back” to depict the process of
failure. But taking a step back after two
steps forward does not have to be negative. Within
those movements, there is still progress. The journey
to success is rarely linear, so I believe it’s the individuals
who know how to overcome roadblocks,
setbacks, failure, and rejection that reach their highest
potential and live the most fulfilling lives.
When I am rejected or hear “no,” I take time to look
at the resilience of successful people I know and
admire for inspiration. In my current role, I have been
fortunate to meet many influential and successful
people. One of the individuals I enjoy working with
the most is billionaire John Paul DeJoria. Something
he says that has always resonated with me is that one
of the keys to success is being prepared for rejection.
“Throughout your career, you are going to run across
rejection. You will knock on doors, and many will
close on you. To be successful, you must remain as
confident and enthusiastic on door No. 59 as you
were on door No. 1. If you realize this is going to
happen, the rejection won’t hit you so hard. It will
help you be resilient!” - John Paul DeJoria
Despite now being a multi-billionaire, John Paul’s
route to success didn’t unfold in the streamlined way
that most people probably expect. The co-founder of
John Paul Mitchell Systems and founder of Patron
Tequila had to work incredibly hard to get to where
he is today. He lived an impoverished childhood,
ended up homeless on two separate occasions as a
young adult, and even spent time working as a
door-to-door salesman and a janitor. It may be hard to
believe, but one of the most profitable haircare companies
in the world, started out being peddled from
the trunk of John Paul’s car.
John Paul DeJoria firmly believes that every ‘no’
allows you the opportunity to mold yourself into a
success. When you utilize every experience as a
lesson for growth, unearth a sharper and more resilient
version of yourself.
There are countless examples of iconic people who
have achieved success by facing their failings and
using them to harness determination and reach the top
of their field.
3. Steven Spielberg
“Failure is inevitable. Success is elusive.” - Steven
Spielberg
After being rejected twice by the University of Southern
California’s School of Cinematic Arts, Spielberg
persisted on which resulted in him winning three
Academy Awards and grossing more than $9 billion
from the film industry.
4. Oprah Winfrey
“There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life
trying to move us in another direction.”- Oprah
Winfrey
After being fired from her first TV job as an anchor in
Baltimore, Oprah is now one of the most recognized
TV personalities in the world, a multi-billionaire
thanks to hosting one of the most successful talk
shows of all time, and now even owns her own TV
channel.
5. J.K Rowling
“It is impossible to live without failing at something,
unless you live so cautiously that you might as well
not lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.” -
J.K Rowling
Originally written as an escape from her depression,
financial woes, and struggling as a single mother,
Harry Potter was rejected countless times until one
publisher decided to take a chance on her vision. J.K
Rowling turned her initial story into a seven-book
world-renowned series, which resulted in corresponding
blockbuster movies and made her one of the
wealthiest people in Britain.
8. Arianna Huffington
“Failure is not the opposite of success; it’s part of
success.” - Arianna Huffington
After her second book was rejected a colossal 36
times before publication, Arianna Huffington went on
to build The Huffington Post empire and write multiple
New York Times Best Sellers.
21

9. Steve Jobs
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired
from Apple was the best thing that could have ever
happened to me. The heaviness of being successful
was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner
again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter
one of the most creative periods of my life.” -
Steve Jobs
Contrary to the above examples, Steve Jobs started
out incredibly successful in his 20’s when Apple
evolved into a lucrative technology enterprise. However,
when he was 30, the board of directors decided
to fire him from his own company.
Undeterred, Steve Jobs founded a new company,
NeXT, which Apple eventually acquired. Once back
within the realms of Apple HQ, Jobs demonstrated his
capacity for greatness by reinventing the company’s
image and taking the Apple brand to new heights.
He co-created the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad
before sadly dying at age 56 with a reported net worth
of $7 billion and being hailed as one of the most
influential business people of our time.
10. Bill Gates
“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important
to heed the lessons of failure.” - Bill Gates
After dropping out of the highly acclaimed Harvard
University, Bill Gates launched his first company
Traf-O-Data, which ended in a colossal failure.
Undeterred, a few years later, he began Microsoft
and, as they say, the rest is history.
Bill Gates is now one of the wealthiest and most
successful individuals in the business world.
I am the Director of Fundraising for one of the most
successful ocean conservation organizations globally,
and my view of the word “no” helps me raise more
money. Contrary to popular belief, “no” should be
viewed as the start of the negotiation, not the end of
it. You can turn a negative into a positive if you use
their resistance as an opportunity to slow down,
analyze the situation, and determine what they really
want. This will highlight the real issues and redirect
the conversation as needed. Often, the individuals
who say no at first ultimately provide a higher level
of support because we were able to align their specific
passion and desire for change with a direct mission
we have for protecting the ocean.
“Every no gets me closer to a yes.” - Mark Cuban
By being prepared for rejection and using your determination
to face those adversities head-on, you will
set yourself up for a more assured road to success.
Failure isn’t and shouldn’t spell the end – it is an
opportunity to reevaluate, reassess, and return wiser,
stronger, and better positioned for your eventual
success.

ROBERTO GILARDINO
Horizons | Regional Partner

Serving Clients with Corporate
Advisory Solutions
Meet Roberto Gilardino, the Regional
Partner of Horizons Corporate Advisory
is a unique advisory Firm with 30 operatives’
country’ law firms. The Firm provides international
highly specialized legal and tax solutions that
allow organizations to thrive in today’s complex
transnational corporate environment.
Roberto oversees the organization’s transnational
operations from the head office of Horizons situated
at the heart of downtown Shanghai. The team's
skillsets rest in corporate issues and property
safeguard and liaise day-to-day with Horizons'
regional offices to serve as the advisory's global
gateway.
Roberto’s background and skillsets lie in international
business and corporate law with special
attention on corporate government, strategy, and
shareholder protection. With a deep sense of
cross-cultural issues in cross-border transactions
and corporate matters, both Roberto and his team
provide clients with unique insights and strategies
related to the difficult-to-read, often behind-thescenes,
nuances in transnational business.
Before joining Horizons, he served professionally
in ministries, governmental bodies, and the private
sector, primarily in China.
Roberto is an Italian national, he is fluent in Italian,
English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Addressing Corporate Challenges
Roberto and his team at Horizons provide turnkey
legal, tax, and financial solutions to comprehensively
safeguard cross-border investments. Horizons’
professionals in more than 30 jurisdictions
worldwide serve clients by addressing international
corporate challenges through a local, national, and
international lens. As a result, investments are
comprehensively compliant with all the laws that it
geographically touches and clients have full control
of their cross-border investments, despite geographical
distance and cultural differences.
Most of Horizons’ clients are international companies
or corporate groups. The Firm’s employees
identify themselves as client-centric professionals.
Instead of the same traditional listening- executing-invoicing,
Roberto and his team engage clients
by building long-term trust and identifying their
corporate challenges through delving deep into their
business operations. Through this approach, the Firm
uncovers the intangibles to formulate solutions that
fit these unprecedented times.
Equally, Horizons value the unique strength of
collaboration. The team brings a broad range of
experiences. With such diverse perspectives and
know-how, the Firm tackles solutions from multifaced
perspectives which are highly attuned to the
ever-changing business landscape.
“If you greatly desire something,
have the guts to stake
everything on obtaining it.
Come what may, be always a
kind spirit!
Tackling Primary Challenges
Roberto believes, the challenge for many corporate
advisories is navigating clients through multiple
25

jurisdictions in this evolving world. With the rapid
globalization, many businesses not only need to
stay abreast of legal, tax, and accounting changes
but also need to understand the various cultural and
language gaps to thrive in unfamiliar jurisdictions.
As a result, Horizons Corporate Advisory has
positioned itself to not simply practice law. Rather
the team understands real-world challenges, is
committed to conveying legal doctrine with clarity
and accessibility and is sensitive to the language
and culture of the client.
Through this manner, Horizons’ team opens
dialogues, drills down challenging corporate problems
and ultimately safeguards the client for the
present and future.
Making the Industry Balanced and Equal
According to Roberto, diversity and inclusion are
the two hot topics across the industries. While
various studies have shown that diverse teams
outperform in the fourth quartile by 36% in profitability,
the consultancy field, such as legal firms,
often remain behind in cultivating diverse teams
and inclusive workplaces. Specifically, progression
from entry-level roles to seniority in minorities and
females remains relatively low in the legal field,
resulting in a lack of senior management who
understand and address the specific challenges
faced by such professionals. Ultimately, lack of
diversity at the senior level can lead to inadequate
access to mentors and training designated to
minority or female professionals.
Horizons ensure career opportunities and mentorships
are formulated to match and develop each
talent without unconscious bias. In this manner, the
Firm strives to go beyond the surface and integrate
individuals' unique strengths to cultivate a multifaced
and multidimensional team that can serve
clients from all walks of life.
Suggestions for Female Entrepreneurs
and Lawyers
Roberto says, “The legal world has advanced from
the traditional patriarchal industry. Increased
visibility of women in law has spearheaded practises
such as work-life balance and transparency in
gender pay gaps. For young women entering the
legal world today, there are more options to
improve work flexibility.”
He also thinks Covid-19 has accelerated agile
working practices which align with out-of-work
responsibilities including raising families. Aspiring
women lawyers should not be intimidated by the
specific challenges faced by women in a predominantly
male-dominated profession. Rather seek
opportunities and firms that support female leadership
and work-life balance.
Roberto adds, “At Horizons, we encourage our
female professionals to speak at events to increase
the visibility of women in the legal field. In this
manner, we can play an active role in changing the
perception of what lawyers are perceived to be and
aspire more females to progress into senior roles.”
Future Roadmap
With a massive experience of more than 40 years in
advising both inbound and outbound China investment,
the Firm has witnessed the rapid economic
growth and changing legal landscape in China.
Today, under the leadership of Roberto, the Firm is
increasingly assisting consumer goods and
high-tech companies to establish entities in China.
The growth of technology and the middle-class
market around China has generated a huge appetite
for foreign companies to seize opportunities. Whilst
many manufacturing plants in traditional sectors
such as retail are moving operations to South Asian
countries or Eastern Europe. Therefore, the foreign
direct investments ('FDI') in China are swiftly
evolving, and China is no longer the low-cost
labour and manufacturing country. Rather, FDI in
China shall align with national policy, namely the
14th Five-Year Plan (2021- 2025) for National
Economic and Social Development Through 2035
published on March 12, 2021.
As a result, Horizons is assisting clients in implementing
a new playbook that correlates with national
strategy and the domestic market. And excited to
play a substantial role in shaping the corporate
structure for new clients entering the China market.
