Germano’s journey began in the vibrant and culturally rich south of Brazil. Growing up in a large family with diverse origins, including immigrants from Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, as well as Brazilian natives, he was exposed to a myriad of cultural influences.

His childhood was filled with joyful experiences like Soccer, Rodeos, Capoeira, and Oktoberfest events. Traditions such as Gaucho, Samba, and Country music enriched his upbringing, fostering a deep appreciation for diversity.

At 13, Germano took on his first job as a part-time Computer Trainer to fund his technical education. By 16, he was hired as an electronics product developer, balancing this role with his engineering studies. At 17, his dedication to teamwork earned him a promotion to Technical Project Leader, successfully managing consumer products for major corporations.

However, his journey was not without challenges. Experiencing scarce resources and facing significant healthcare and financial hurdles in Brazil, Germano witnessed loved ones suffer from preventable diseases and limited access to education and healthcare. These experiences instilled in him a profound resolve to create change.

At 19, with just $200 and speaking only Portuguese, Germano set out to broaden his horizons and pursue new opportunities, relocating to Switzerland, one of his ancestral homelands. This bold decision marked the start of a new chapter, laying the groundwork for his future ventures and shaping the vision that fuels Synbora today.

In Switzerland, Germano continued to build his expertise and leadership skills. He completed the Swiss Army sub-officer school, earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Project Management, and achieved a Master of Advanced Studies in Business Administration from Geneva University.

These accomplishments equipped him with essential leadership, management, and language skills, paving the way for a successful career in the healthcare industry, swiftly ascending to managerial and directorial roles.
