The operator Tallis Gomeswhich caused controversy when he said that Female CEOs do not marry because they would go through a “masculinization process”, organizing a cycle of business lectures in São Paulo.

Speakers at your event seek covert participation. Gomes tells the column that he understands the situation.

“They wouldn’t even agree to give the speech if I was still in the role of CEO,” he says.

He says he made a mistake and felt bad for offending women and disrupting the work of others in his company. But he also argues that it was misinterpreted, as it was referring to a potential romantic partner in a CEO position, and not to women in general in that position.
