Barbora Chuecos
CEO of Mary Kay
Barbora is a first-class manager and has been the head of the Czech branch of American cosmetics company Mary Kay for more than 15 years. She had always considered herself an optimist in life, but then her son Ángel arrived to test this. He is autistic, and everyday he reminds her that the most important thing in life is our mindset. She sees her son’s autism as something that enriches her life. Barbora is also interested in canine therapy, a therapeutic method based on contact between humans and dogs.
Barbora believes that everything is a matter of perspective and that we always have a choice how to respond to a given situation.
Her personal motto is: "Everything happens for my own good.”
