After eleven years dedicated to Atento, six as its chief executive, Pedro Villar Iroumé is leaving his position as CEO of Grupo Atento (Chief Executive Officer), to be succeeded by Agnaldo Calbucci, until now President of Business Unit Brazil.

Pedro returns to Chile to concentrate on personal projects after having led the consolidation and profitable growth of the Company since 2004. Agnaldo arrives with a background of having directly participated in the birth and evolution of the company, and having headed the operation responsible for a large part of the revenue and profitability of the Organization. His main challenge will now be to develop on the sustainable growth begun by Pedro; to prepare and develop the company for the new business markets and challenges ahead and pave the way for Atento to become a leading global company.

Javier de Paz, Atento President, would like to thank Pedro for the years of dedication to our Company, to recognize his work in the development of Atento and the leadership he has helped to build; and to welcome Agnaldo, in the knowledge that his skills, experience and results have prepared him for the great challenges ahead.  "We are talking of two great executives here.  Atento has been lucky enough to have Pedro at the helm of the business up until now and to have Agnaldo as a new leader to take charge of the process which will make us the most important Company in our sector in the world".
