Last Tuesday, May 27, a Top Entrepreneurs event took place at 12:00 at the Vivero de Empresas in Moratalaz. The Top Entrepreneurs are monthly meetings with a relevant successful entrepreneur, who shares his entrepreneurial experience with attendees. On this occasion the guest was Luis Cacho, co-founder of Arsys (http://www.arsys.es), a leading company in the Internet presence services business (domains, hosting, cloud) that has a portfolio of more than 275,000 clients, a workforce of more than 300 workers and an annual turnover of 43 million euros. Luis also chairs the Promete Foundation (http://www.promete.org), an educational innovation project aimed at developing talent.
The company and the people
"They will have already told you, but for me the most important thing in a company is the people"; Luis Cacho began the meeting with these words, going on to express the need to create humanist organizations that consider those who are part of them to be people in development. «Success or failure is relative to projects, not to people. A person does not end in failure or success", wanted to remark the co-founder of Arsys, who also explained to the attendees that the key to the success of his company was the people who formed it, and the corporate climate that they managed to create .
success and conduct
On the other hand, Luis clarified that past success is not a guarantee of future success and said that they started "with an office of 70 meters, which we soon had to change for another... of 35". According to the speaker, entrepreneurship does not depend only on knowledge; "We didn't have any," he said. Regarding the achievement of success, Luis shared with those present his opinion that it is the conduct that determines it: «The smart thing is to collaborate; the intelligent thing is to be good».
humanist values
Another of the ideas transmitted by Luis Cacho was that ethics is the most appropriate behavior in the medium and long term, and he stated that "if we incorporate values into our company, we will have achieved a humanist organization, with committed workers". From the Promise Foundation, Cacho highlighted the enthusiasm and energy of both students and teachers. And, finally, he left a reflection written in a window of the Nursery: «Towards the humanist organization and the development of talent».
