In this powerful and deeply human session on family business succession, we explored a real-life story of grief, resilience, and unexpected leadership inside a family enterprise. In December 2004, Jesús Mejía traveled to Cali to say goodbye before moving to Miami and never left. The sudden death of his father-in-law, Alberto, founder of Calzatodo Colombia, placed him in front of an impossible question: step into a business he had never worked in, or walk away from a family in crisis. He said yes. What followed were twenty-one years of leading without a playbook, navigating a founder's shadow, managing a wife and sister-in-law as direct reports, nearly losing his marriage in a conference room, and building a governance structure that no one had ever written down.

🗣 Language: The webinar was held in Spanish with live interpretation into English and French.
