We have another FT ALL STAR to tell you about. In April, Genaro Rionda will have been with us for 5 years. During those 5 years, I've learned more about Genaro other than being a great client.
For one, he has a wonderful family. He's always sharing stories about his granddaughter (who gets to stop by on occasion). His wife, Sybille, has stopped by a few times and has joined us for a race. His daughter, Sasha, trained with us for a while, and her husband, John Scott, did some great professional photography for us.
Genaro is always giving us Spanish lessons and educates us on Mexican and Spanish heritage. Seeking his wisdom, on more than one occasion I've consulted with Genaro. He has a wonderful business acumen from his years in the business world, most notably as CEO of LAPTV (Latin American Pay Television).
All of his values and fortitude has extended how he behaves as a client. Always steady with his approach to exercise, Genaro never wavered even though he has a had a major back and heart surgery. He is a testimony that no matter how bad the health problem, you can bounce back. We greatly appreciate all his wonderful years of dedication and leading by example.
