Atolls

As we continue our Women in Leadership series, today we’re highlighting Maria Fernanda de Azevedo Antunes Diniz Junqueira, Managing Director Brazil, a leader who has been shaping Atolls from the very beginning.

Maria’s journey is built on passion, resilience, and balance. As one of the first employees at Atolls, she took on the challenge of growing our presence in Latin America from the ground up. But beyond business success, what truly drives her is watching the people she leads grow and thrive.

Her story is also one of balancing leadership with motherhood, a challenge she meets with intention, support, and the courage to let go of perfection.

✨ Leadership is about trust. One of the biggest lessons Maria has learned is to delegate and trust her team. Empowering others creates stronger organizations and fosters innovation.

✨ Perfection is an illusion. The key to balance isn’t doing everything flawlessly, it’s about setting boundaries, focusing on what truly matters, and letting go of things that don’t add value.

✨ Support and mentorship are essential. No one achieves success alone. Surrounding yourself with mentors, inspiring women, and a strong support system makes all the difference.

Maria’s journey is a reminder that women can thrive as leaders and as mothers, when they have the right systems, the right people, and the confidence to define success on their own terms. 💜
