The Ten Principles of Roberto Madan -Lessons on leadership, resilience, and legacy from a century of life
In the world of Hispanic marketing, Roberto Madan was widely respected as one of the early figures who helped shape how a major American company engaged with the U.S. Hispanic market. At McDonald’s, he was more than a successful owner-operator.
