Panel SA: Public crying and effusive greetings from Pedro Guimarães worried advisors

The behavior of Pedro Guimarães, who now loses the post of president of Caixa amid accusations of sexual harassment, has always been a headache for advisors who accompanied him in the period at the head of the bank.

There were many times when those closest to him tried to give a touch with discretion, but he was considered someone difficult to listen to any kind of recommendation.

There was a concern with the effusive attitude he had when greeting people in work relationships, especially women, according to professionals who worked on the team.

Another gesture that displeased aides worried about the executive’s image was his habit of sharing family memories and crying in public.

One of the stories that Guimarães often described was that of his father infected with the AIDS virus. His surroundings even asked him to be less emotional.
