About this episode
Dennis Herszkowicz shares his journey from entrepreneur to CEO of Totvs and discusses his extensive M&A experience.
Dennis is the CEO of Totvs, the leading ERP software provider in Brazil. As you will hear, this is someone with incredible drive and ambition who has been involved in over 50 M&A transactions in his career. He shares his personal journey, from entrepreneur to executive, and his motivation to keep pushing forward. Despite his profile, this is not a well known aspect of his story. We also have the privilege of learning from his vast M&A experience. I would go as far as to say that you can't fully understand the future of Totvs under his leadership without listening to this conversation.
