Woman takes over as CEO of G4 Education after Tallis Gomes resignation
The CEO and founder of G4 Education, Tallis Gomes, has stepped down from his position after making a controversial statement. The company has announced that a woman will be taking over as the new CEO.
Gomes, who has been the CEO of G4 Education since its inception, has announced his resignation following outcry over a statement he made regarding women in leadership positions. In his statement, Gomes suggested that “women are not cut out for the responsibilities and pressures of being a CEO.” This sparked criticism and outrage from both employees and the public, leading to his decision to step down.
Following Gomes’ announcement, the board of directors has named a replacement for the CEO position. Maria da Silva, who previously held the position of COO at G4 Education, will be stepping up as the new CEO.
“Maria has been an instrumental part of G4 Education’s success and we have full confidence in her abilities to lead the company,” the board of directors stated in a press release.
Gomes has not commented on his resignation or the controversy surrounding his statement, but the company has confirmed that he will no longer be involved with the day-to-day operations of G4 Education.
G4 Education is one of the leading education technology companies in Brazil, providing innovative solutions for K-12 students. The company was founded by Tallis Gomes in 2013 and has seen significant growth and success under his leadership.
