A horizon of good things

Caroline has just had a daughter and in the middle of her maternity leave she was promoted at Horiens, taking on new challenges in the Personnel Insurance area, where she has worked for seven years, as soon as she returns.

Wesley is excited about the career possibilities he is seeing after starting to work at Horiens’ data lab, Risk Labs, initially as an intern and now as a permanent employee.

Luanda is happy to be able to identify her life mission in the midst of the pandemic’s reflection period, discovering that she can dream and work on a purpose.

Carolina, Wesley and Luanda are sharing with us a horizon of good things that has opened up in their lives.

“We are proud of being part of people’s lives and, more than that, of offering an environment that can be a source of positive experiences”, points out Fernanda Antonelli, director of Horiens’ Personnel area. People are the center of everything in a company. Life and work have ups and downs, it’s normal, and of course this has its value, but knowing to see opportunities to evolve and transform life and career is in our own hands,” she adds.

Throughout the year we will be talking about the horizon of good things that our members see for their lives and careers. We invite you to join us and listen to these stories and get to know a little more about the people who are part of Horiens!

Caroline Lucena, from the Personnel Insurance area

“When we live intensely in the present and excel, we open ourselves to possibilities that life offers us toward the future we plan. My second child, Rafaela, was born in February this year, and along with all the dilemmas that come with motherhood, there is also an incredible strength and feeling that it was worth it.

In addition to this great event in my life, I was professionally recognized for my efforts and dedication, during my maternity leave, with a promotion within the area I work in. All I can say is that life gives us a horizon of good things when we for them look hard enough”

Wesley José da Silva, member at Risk Labs Horiens

“I often say that I have been working since I was ‘little’. My first job was with my uncle at the street market, when I was about 14 years old. At 16, I went to work at General Motors as a young apprentice and, at 18, I was already on my third professional experience, as a service provider at Citi. Here at Horiens, where I joined as a Risk Labs inter, in 2019, I discovered new possibilities, especially with the partnership of my leader Márcio, and all the support from Fernanda, our Personnel leader.

Stimulated by an open environment and, personally, going through a self-knowledge phase, I saw my career prospects open up not only with this hiring, which came recently, but with all the programming and data science learning I had access to.

In the past, I didn’t think much about career issues and went with the flow, but, today, I find myself thinking about building a career that brings me fulfillment.

Luanda de Oliveira Santos, from Risk and Insurance to Infrastructure and Concessions
“Work, for me, has always been connected to survival than prospects. Things have been changing little by little. I joined Horiens in 2014, in Salvador, Bahia. It was a nice period, which introduced me to a new world with a very strong look at people, since I worked in the Personnel Insurance area, with a focus on customer relationship.

In 2017, I got an invitation to come and work in São Paulo. Here, my connections have increased, I have changed areas and I have been discovering new ways to collaborate, each time closer to what I consider my mission: which is to be a bridge, to help open doors for people. Today, in addition to my Action Program in the Engineering and Concessions area, I am part of the Diversity Committee at Horiens.

The most introspective period of the pandemic brought eventually woke me to the fact that we can work to a purpose. I wasn’t taught to dream, but I have learned that I can.”
