“Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It’s about one life influencing the other.” Leadership is the unbeatable quality of a person that acts as a stepping stone for him to conquer the world. And the platform of Business Talk is renowned for its impeccable monthly editions that focus on introducing the world to some exemplary leaders in the business realm out there. And here, we are back with the trajectory tale of one such enthusiast, Mauricio Frizzarin, CEO of Qyon.
Our editorial team had an interesting and joyful session with the leadership panel of the company in which he shared various lesser-known facts about the company. Mr. Mauricio also shared his entrepreneurial journey so far in the respective realm. His excellent approach to handling business complexity is what inspired us to feature him in our exclusive edition, ‘Top Global Business Leaders Making a Difference in 2022.’ Let’s have a close look at his success journey!
THE UNTOLD STORY
Shining some lights on his journey, the visionary quips, “I’ve been working since very young, and even in the 80s, I started to have access to microcomputers. I was very interested in learning how everything worked and especially the solutions that the software provides. Soon I started a technical course in data processing, where I developed my first software, which helped in filling out extensive and tiring information (such as telephone directories). From then on, I started working on developing software for companies. However, commercializing software at the turn of the 80s/90s was a challenge and brought a lot of financial insecurity. Even though I was still very young, I realized that thinking about the business model was essential to ensure the sustainability of the business. During this period, I was invited to develop accounting software.”
Giving us a brief of his major inspirational element that led him towards this journey, Mr. Mauricio affirms, “The inspiration came from the possibility of making a difference in the world, supporting customers to solve control and management problems in their companies. It is very gratifying to hear from a customer how our software is helping their business. The challenge is huge, but it becomes possible when we know the direction, are innovative, and looking to make a difference. We develop software to make life easier for entrepreneurs this is our focus.
Moreover, my two passions have always been technology and aviation. I started providing services for accounting offices and soon realized that I could help more. I was able to understand very well what the customers; needs were, and with the knowledge I had I knew I could create something very innovative for the time, easily accessible, and very reliable. Then I continued working hard, improving the software and always looking for innovation. Even after selling the company, I continued to follow the market and what the future of business will be like.”
THE COMPANY PREFACE
Qyon is revolutionizing the software industry by putting the power of artificial intelligence in the hands of accountants and small businesses. Qyon is a company with advanced knowledge in software technology based on artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and big data for business management, and its services are designed to control and integrate processes and areas that are part of a company. In addition to the software, it has also developed a fintech that integrates with the technology ecosystem, further automating corporate financial operations and generating lower technology operation costs. “It is important to say that we are constantly evolving and we already have blockchain technology and also operate a cryptocurrency exchange, which makes integration with the entire business management system developed by Qyon even easier. Our goal is to educate accountants and entrepreneurs around the globe to innovate and transform the industry, enabling them to offer new and innovative services not possible with current technology,” says the CEO.
Being best is not what the business world demands, but being different is what it desires the most. And Mr. Mauricio highlights some USPs of his journey by quoting, “I believe that the main mark at the beginning of my career was having done a good analysis of how the market would behave with the entry of new technology in the market. It was also important to make the correct choice of business model and be fully dedicated to making the thing happen and develop. I currently feel that way again, as if I had a call to collaborate with the need for the digital transformation that the world imposes. So, I believe that this synchrony of decisions was the great point for everything to happen. Also, my greatest recognition as a leader comes every time, I hear from customers that our software helped solve a big problem at their company. Providing a digital platform with the ability to help each client: this is our greatest recognition.”
A LEADER, A GUIDE
Our team was curious to know about the leadership skills that set Mr. Mauricio apart from others in the same space. So, we asked-and he replied by saying, “As a CEO, I coordinate the actions of all the boards, but I also like to participate in the practice, I like to be close to the developer’s team. I’m very detail-oriented, and I have a total focus on the customer experience: if I have to review the button size of our software, for example, I will review and demand that everyone has the same focus in thinking about how we can make life easier for the customer. Also, on a regular day at work, we have a lot of meetings and are very flexible, but it is important to maintain good coordination between all areas of the company. A company works like a great team: if everyone collaborates, the result can be much better than good individual results. Having a brilliant team also helps me understand and put into practice the company concepts that we experience during an air show or in a speed or precision competition. My role is similar to that of a conductor-but a conductor who understands well how each instrument works and is always available to discuss new solutions with anyone on the team. New possibilities appear every day that led us to continually assess our positions and what steps we should take. If I had to define myself in one word it would be ‘intense’.”
WORDS OF WISDOM
Before signing off, the enthusiastic leader shared some parting words that will boost the confidence of the budding entrepreneurs out there and will also guide them. “First of all, it’s important to say that when we’re on a journey like this at Qyon, we want to have fun working. The challenge is enormous, and if we don’t have an optimal level of dedication, we will hardly be able to surprise the market. I think the light and collaborative atmosphere is part of our essence. I would also like to add that we created the first Brazilian air sports team, Qyon AeroSports. We are based in the USA, and we participate in the biggest competitions and air shows in the world. In the last year, we have been to several events in the USA such as Sun’n’Fun (Florida), Reno Air Races (Nevada), and Airventure Oshkosh (Wisconsin). With the team, we intend to make aero-sport a platform for the communication of the concepts that Qyon brings to the market, considering that the USA and Brazil have a large audience with an interest in technology, aircraft, innovation, and competition. Recently, our team participated in the Brazilian premiere of the movie “TopGun-Maverick”, which shows our identification with the public that appreciates aviation,” asserts the kingpin.
