About the founder
Mauricio Antunes
Mauricio was born and raised in Brazil and built much of his career in international business. Working across cultures shaped a simple conviction: while our environments influence how we express ourselves, the challenges of leadership, family, purpose, and responsibility are deeply human.
MAX Business brings that cross-cultural perspective to practical conversations about business, life, relationships, and values. The goal is never dependence. It is helping people become clearer, more capable, and more intentional.
