Position In The Company: Founder And CEO
Leonardo Freitas is a versatile entrepreneur with over twenty-five years of experience in government relations, international trade, and business development in the United States and the emerging markets of Latin America and Asia.
He served as a senior business development executive for distinguished companies such as Philips Electronics, Tandberg, and Cisco Systems, with a remarkable track record in government and private sector sales achievements.
His natural ability to assess deceptive behavior urged him to become a certified trainer in the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). It is a technique developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), by a renowned psychiatrist and behavioral scientist, Dr. Paul Ekman.
He further gained rich exposure through his education in Behavioral Sciences from the University of Melbourne. Mr. Freitas is renowned for his ability to identify and interpret body language, facial micro-expressions, and deceptive behavior. His skills have been used to assist Latin American organizations and companies in the increasingly important area of manpower profiling and at several local and federal law enforcement agencies.
In 1996 he founded TradeSmart, which was the beginning of the idea to eventually establish Hayman-Woodward Group. Apart from being a thriving entrepreneur and founder, Mr. Freitas is an accomplished musician regarded for his skills at the Berklee College of Music, Boston. He has majored in Music Production and Sound Engineering and completed an internship at Polygram Records (now Universal Music) as a post-production studio manager.
Hayman-Woodward Human Capital Services LLC is another brainchild of Mr. Freitas and his co-founder, Ana Paula Montanha. As a co-founder of this American multinational organization, he has eased human capital solutions. The company is known for its extensive experience in human resources, including services tailored for organizations, entrepreneurs and executives in areas of all HR functionalities, Shared Services (POE), Business Consulting and Business Plans.
Mr. Freitas attributes his company’s success to the compatibility between Ana Paula Montanha and himself. The entrepreneur-duo have known each other for over 25 years and have emerged from the telecommunication industry to thrive as founders of multi-million dollar enterprises.
His well-rounded approach has helped various individuals meet their global mobility needs like tax planning, tax compliance, insurance, wealth management, logistics, and global visas. Mr. Freitas’ effective understanding and language fluency have also created synergies with the Latin American market.
He strongly believes that no bureaucratic boundaries or obstacles should exist for individuals and companies who wish to invest and thrive on a global scale.
While his work has captivated great attention globally, his wide knowledge and understanding of tax, legal, compensation and immigration make him one of the top Immigration & Global Mobility analysts today.
