Cover Story One day more than 15 years ago, at an uncertain point of the road that crosses the immense swamp between Barranquilla and Santa Marta, in Colombia, Dr. Gabriel Serrano stopped the car in which he was traveling to eat a couple of arepas with egg and a chinola juice in one of the many street stalls that mark this route. He sat down and enjoyed for a while those flavors that he longed for so much, because he lived in Valencia, in Spain, since he was 17 years old. While drinking a café largo, a girl with very vivid eyes and a careless appearance caught his attention: she was almost barefoot and poorly dressed. He grew interested in her, learned about the conditions in which she lived with her family, her most pressing needs and greatest dreams, and from that moment on took charge of her education, paid for her books, paid for many expenses of the whole family and personally committed himself to do everything in his power so that she could have better opportunities in life and get out of that environment of poverty. Helping those most disadvantaged, offering development opportunities to those who have near to nothing, engaging with those most in need, is in Dr. Gabriel Serrano's DNA because he learned it from his father, a vocational doctor like the one who traveled on foot or on horseback the fields and roads of Barranquilla to care for the sick, many of whom paid him with a huacal of fresh eggs or a pair of mangoes. Founder and president of Laboratorios SESDERMA, prestigious dermatologist, university professor, researcher and entrepreneur, Dr. Gabriel Serrano is at the head of a multinational company with presence in more than 85 countries across four continents. Although he has traveled the world many times and his latest success is the clinic that has opened at the Dubai Mall, the largest and most exclusive shopping center, Dr. Serrano continues to treat a child with very high fever on the street, aided by the feeble light of a mobile phone, or to launch various initiatives in different countries to try to help people who lack resources. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 15

Cover Story Dr. Gabriel Serrano is member of the Illustrious Ramón y Cajal Academy of Health Sciences since 2018 (Complutense University of Madrid), the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, the American Academy of Dermatology - AAD (42 years of continuous membership), the Ibero Latin American College of Dermatology (CILAD, according to its initials in Spanish), the Annual Meeting of Latin American Dermatologists (RADLA, according to its initials in Spanish), and the most important dermatological societies worldwide. He is also Honorary Professor at University of Bali (Indonesia) and actively collaborates with Dr. Huberto Bogaert Dermatological Institute in the Dominican Republic. This center is a reference in Latin America that was created with the purpose of collaborating in the fight against leprosy and stimulating the study of skin and venereal diseases in the country. For more than 20 years, Dr. Serrano has been actively collaborating with this institute. In fact, he was the precursor of the Cosmetic Department, when dermocosmetic products were barely known to contribute to the treatment of skin with conditions. Currently, Sesderma continues to work on its joint initiatives for the benefit of dermatology in the Dominican Republic. Moreover, in 2018 he was awarded by the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology for his over 10-year contribution to the Academy and his more than 25 years to the service of dermatology. This same year, he was named one of the “10 Colombians of the Year”, acknowledgement given by the Colombian Embassy to those Colombians resident in Spain who have contributed with their work and professional career to fostering the image of this country. In 2019, he received the “Dermatologist of the Year” Award from the international publication Les Nouvelles Esthétiques, as well as the “A Tu Salud” award from La Razón for his professional career. In 2021, the newspaper La Razón awarded him a new “A Tu Salud Award” for his research into the development of potential preventive treatments and care for patients affected by Covid-19. Dr. Serrano recently received the Rotary Club of Valencia Award for his service to the community. This award means a lot because helping others is in Sesderma's DNA. Solidarity, the will to try to improve the lives of those most in the need or the drive to launch initiatives that help people in need are values that Dr. Gabriel Serrano learned from his father, who was a great doctor and an extraordinary person. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 17

Cover Story Dr. Serrano, what drives you to help people? have had a long career of personal, professional, and business success, I believe that I have a moral duty to return a part of what I accomplished to people who have not been as lucky or have the same opportunities as I did. I feel this repayment as an obligation towards society, so that the less fortunate will have new opportunities. self-consumption and—most importantly—we offered them to work in the assembly of the needles for our NANOPORE, so they ceased to depend on the charity of others and went on to have a paid job with which they could earn a living and take their children to school. My greatest satisfaction is to see how their lives changed and how they had a real chance of getting out of poverty. It is an act of justice. I feel privileged for the blessings that life has given me: a wonderful family that offered me the opportunities for me to develop as a person and for me to be able to study in Spain. I had wonderful parents who knew how to provide me with a lot of love while being examples of high standards and responsibility, qualities that have defined me over the years and I have tried to teach my children because I think what is most important is that they are good people, responsible, generous, and supportive. I have traveled all over the world and the reality is that millions of people in dozens of countries do not have the minimum conditions to get out of poverty and need help, a push that will allow them to overcome the barriers that prevent them from advancing and improving their living conditions. As I We know that one of its first solidarity initiatives was the Bali Foundation… From what I see, you are in favor of implementing actions that allow the independent development of individuals and their families in the face of charitable payments that do not generate the autonomy of the poorest people… Yes, this is an action I launched more than 10 years ago following a visit to Bali, Indonesia. Our guide, Budi, was a very spiritual and extraordinarily generous person who helped a community of very, very poor people living in the jungle. Budi introduced me to a family whose members were all blind and therefore depended absolutely on the charity of others. After this meeting we built them a small house, we bought them some domestic animals for Of course. You must teach people how to fish instead of putting a fish on the table.

Love, in conclusion, love for Dominicans is the word that summarizes the momentum of this project that makes me immensely happy. escape poverty in poorer countries, such as Indonesia or India. Often, with small loans we can get women to buy a sewing machine or a cart to sell on the street or a bicycle so that men can travel to a job far away from where they live. These little aids, these impulses, allow their lives to change radically, as they create the conditions for them to work for themselves and earn their own bread. In other cases, for example, we get a job for women—many of whom have young children in their care—so that they can move their family forward. launched a series of business initiatives that I hope will bring wealth and well-being to many people. I feel so comfortable there that I bought a house and other properties in Bayahibe, a piece of paradise where friendly and smiling people live with whom I am very happy. My contact with their neighbors has allowed me to see their needs, which are many, and so I thought to help them doing whatever was in my hand, and that is why I have promoted the Dr. Gabriel Serrano Foundation Dominican Republic, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to help the most needy, to provide education for children and young people and to improve the living conditions and health of families with a lack of resources. Is it true that the doctors of the multidisciplinary medical center that has just opened in Bayahibe will offer free consultations one day a week to people without resources in the area? His latest solidarity initiative is the Gabriel Serrano Foundation Dominican Republic. What are its purposes? That's right, the medical care that the clinic will provide will not only be aimed at foreign tourists of high purchasing power who can pay for the consultations of specialists or the treatments we offer. We will offer the same medical care, the same treatments for everyone, both for those who We could say that I am the promoter, yes, but I am not alone, because my enthusiasm has infected dozens of prominent Dominicans from all backgrounds who are part of the board of this foundation. With them is also, as it could not be otherwise, the Board of Directors of Fight against Leprosy and the Dominican Institute of Dermatology Dr. Huberto Bogaert, which has joined me Indeed, the Dominican Republic is a place I hold dear to my heart. I am in love with this land and its people since I first arrived there almost forty years ago. I have returned on a regular basis, I have dared to make a handful of great friends that I consider as family and have www.theenterpriseworld.com | 21
Cover Story have enough resources to pay for it and for those who do not earn enough to do so. Free, universal medical attention for those who are in need. It is a decision that fills me with pride, because it is an example that I not only saw in my father when he was a doctor in Colombia, but more than forty years ago, in Dr. Huberto Bogaert, founder of the Dominican Institute of Dermatology that bears his name, who also went out to the fields and traveled the roads of the island to care for patients with leprosy and other diseases wherever they lived, since many of them had no means of getting to a hospital or a doctor's office. Many years have passed, but unfortunately there are still thousands of people in some areas of the country who do not even have the means to go to a hospital, much less pay for the consultation of a specialist. So, we will go and find them with our ambulance, offer them the medical attention they deserve and fulfill the moral duty that we have set ourselves. You talked about the Dominican Institute of Dermatology Dr. Huberto Bogaert, what is your relationship with this medical center? My relationship is very intense and full of affection, because it was thanks to Dr. Huberto Bogaert—whom I met at a Dermatology Congress—that I go to know the Dominican Republic. He invited me to go and from that moment on I saw everything he was doing at his Institute, and I fell in love with his work and the country. The Institute not only carries out an invaluable care work to the more than two thousand patients who are treated every day in their consultations, but it is a reference center of the highest prestige throughout Latin America. For the admiration I feel for the work they carry out, throughout these years I have contributed technical material, I have shared with their professionals the most advanced procedures and techniques that we were developing in my clinics in Valencia or Madrid, Spain. I have collaborated in the improvement of the training of resident doctors of the Institute and have even provided two scholarships to improve the training of young |JANUARY 2024 22
doctors both from the Dominican Republic and throughout Latin America. Carmen Sanchez association. Three of these women had been attacked with acid by their partners or ex-partners, but two others were bestially assaulted by men who had no connection with them. I was moved by their inner strength and willingness to overcome their tragedy even though the attacks they had suffered had forever marked them and changed their lives. I keep thinking about the testimony of two of them, who told me with tears in their eyes that thanks to our help they had looked back in the mirror and that they had removed the black glasses that hid the scars from their faces when they went out into the street. That is why I already feel enormously rewarded. Another of the solidarity actions it carries out has to do with women who are victims of machoist violence and attacked with acid by their partners or former partners in Mexico. It shows that you are man who is happy with what he does… Indeed. The truth is that society is not aware that these criminal acts affect so many women in Mexico, and after having met some of them I feel intimately committed to their cause and I will continue to help them in whatever way I can. A few weeks ago I was in Mexico City and, with Dr. Isela Mendez, who is one of the most prestigious dermatologists in the country and a woman who is supportive and committed to the cause of these abused women, I personally met five women who were part of the In the clinic of Dr. Mendez we apply the most modern treatments for skin regeneration and the most effective products that we develop in our factory in Valencia, as we have been doing for more than a year, and I felt the priceless satisfaction of seeing that all the efforts we have been making for many years in research and development of new skin products serve to improve people's lives, restore hope and help them regain their self- esteem. Yes. The truth is that, as I say in the book in which I tell my life story... At this point in my journey, I feel happy because I have achieved what I set out to do several decades ago: to become a human being whose professional life and vocation are devoted to people's all-round health and who has the ability to build a home everywhere I go...” www.theenterpriseworld.com | 23

Case?Study Case?Study Keeping time with elegance and precision, there exists a name that stands above all others—Rolex watches. These timepieces are not merely instruments, they are finely crafted chapters in the rich history of horology—a place of weaving a legacy of sophistication and innovation in between metal pieces. The mere utterance of “Rolex watches” creates an atmosphere of timeless luxury, where painstaking craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art technology From the iconic Oyster Perpetual to the illustrious Submariner, every Rolex creation is a living legend and a symbol of unwavering dedication to excellence. Such accuracy would have baffled Einstein himself in his theories of time and relativity. Let us unravel the mystique concealed behind the crown, where each tick of a Rolex watch resonates with the heartbeat of horological mastery. The Beginning of a New Era Founded by Hans Wilsdorf, rather than any “Hans Rolex” as any of us would have guessed, in the year 1905, in London. He aimed to make it short and simple, a name that was easy to pronounce in any language. Moreover, the term “Rolex” possessed onomatopoeic qualities, echoing a sound like the winding of a watch. It is practicality shone through, given that the name was compact enough to effortlessly grace the face of any watch. Wilsdorf’s profound appreciation for precision timekeeping paved the way for the Rolex watches to surge in popularity in 1910. That pivotal year marked a historic milestone as Rolex became the inaugural wristwatch to bear the esteemed Swiss certificate of chronometric precision, bestowed by the official Watch Rating Centre in Switzerland. This certification proved transformative, sparking a notable uptick in sales.Read More... w w w . t h e e n t e r p r i s e w o r l d . c o m
T asmania, an island state of Australia, is located 240 kilometers to the south of the Australian mainland. It is separated by the Bass Strait, with the archipelago, containing the southernmost part of the country. It accommodates the surrounding 1000 islands and is the 26th largest island in the world. It is Australia's least populated state with a population of 5,69,825 residents as of December 2021. It constitutes a southern extension of the Great Dividing Range. The state owes its name to the Dutch explorer- navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman, who became the first European to discover the island in 1642. Till 1856, the island was known as Van Diemen's Land, named for Anthony Van Diemen, the governor of the Dutch East Indies who had sent Tasman on his voyage of exploration. An alternative settlement was established by Capt. David Collins at a distance of 5 km to the south in 1804 in Sullivans Cove to the western side of Derwent, where the freshwater is available in abundance. This settlement became known as Hobart Town, later shortened as Hobart, which was named after the British Colonial Secretary of that time Lord Hobart. At least, one-fifth of Tasmania is a World Heritage Area. The area which covers 1.58 million hectares includes national parks, marine, and forest reserves. So it is safe to say that 20% of it is a World Heritage Area that extends far South to the Cradle Mountain in the west. Many of the remote destinations that are untouched or unspoiled are accessible only by foot. | January 2024 26

Culture: Shell stringing is a cultural practice in Tasmania. It comprises collecting, preparing, and stringing shells to make necklaces and bracelets by Tasmanian Aboriginal women. This skill and knowledge is passed from mothers to grandmothers to their daughters and granddaughters. It helps to maintain an important link between traditional and contemporary Aboriginal life. Neckace-making is one of the most significant cultural traditions of Tasmanian Aboriginal women. A tradition as ancient as it has continued without interruption before the European colonization in 1803.

Leatherwood honey: Leatherwood honey may not be as sweet as the other ones, but this is thick, creamy, and amber-yellow, with a unique flavor and pungency. The rainforests in the western part of the island enjoy plenty of rainfall. It results in the humongous growth of leatherwood trees, which give plenty of honey to produce in huge quantities. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 29

T ceremony of chaos when the carbon atoms collided with each other in extreme conditions. As the pressure was about 50,000 times the pressure at the surface and the temperature exceeded 1600°C, the carbon atoms bonded with 4 others, and diamonds were formed. he huge bodies of water reflected the Metroid shower passing by. The eruptions resembled fancy fountains with red glitterous lava flowing into the sea. It seems like a party of chaos but the most beautiful one. As if nature was creating itself, forming mountains and sea, under the light of the newly formed moon. One more thing was created in this All of this, for a man (Charles Lewis Tiffany, 1812–1902) to put that diamond on a ring billions of years later and establish Tiffany & Co.—“the store of his dream.” He not only sold jewelry but gave the world something to dream about. He was selling a dream that would change the face of luxury and jewelry forever. This article is the breakdown of this very dream and the company sells it. TIFFANY & CO. TIFFANY & CO. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 39
Time Line of Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1838 by Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812–1902) and his partner, J. B Young, as Tiffany & Young, a “fancy goods” store on Broadway in New York. Charles Lewis Tiffany introduced the iconic blue color in the 1840s. 1830s and 40s Charles Lewis Tiffany took sole control, renaming it Tiffany & Co. 1853 Moved to a grand store in Union Square in 1870. Became a hub for New York’s elite, known for Japonesque-style silverware and diamond jewelry. 1870s Purchased the Tiffany diamond, a massive 128.54-carat canary yellow stone. 1878 Introduced the Tiffany setting in 1886. Won awards for designs at international exhibitions. 1880s Louis Comfort Tiffany became the first design director in 1902. 1900s Flourished through the Art Deco era and embraced the 30s Retro or cocktail style. 1920s & 30s Designers Elsa Peretti (1974) and Paloma Picasso (1980) joined. 1970s & 80s | January 2024 40

Products and Legacy: The Diamond King Charles Lewis Tiffany, a visionary entrepreneur driven by a profound passion for acquiring the most exceptional and rare gemstones, laid the foundation for luxury as we recognize it today. In 1837, he inaugurated Tiffany & Co. in New York City as a purveyor of fancy goods and stationery. Mr. Tiffany’s ground-breaking acquisition of jewels from French aristocrats during the 1840s marked a pivotal moment. He introduced major gemstones to the United States for the first time. This move reached widespread attention, and the press awarded Tiffany the illustrious title of “The Diamond Kings,” a distinction the House proudly upholds to this day. The Modern Engagement Ring The first Tiffany Setting, introduced in 1886, had a single diamond lifted above the ring by six platinum prongs. Melvyn Kirtley, the top gem expert at Tiffany, says, “These prongs lift the diamond off the ring and into the light.” Lifting the diamond off the finger and letting in as much light as possible makes it sparkle a lot. The Blue Box A hundred years later, Tiffany added the finishing touch to their famous packaging. A white satin ribbon on all their Blue Boxes. It’s carefully tied into a bow, and with a gentle pull, it opens up to show the amazing Tiffany item inside. The Blue Box is known all over as the most famous and wanted packaging globally. It is a tradition that goes back to the time our founder started the company. Legacy of Gemstones Tiffany has a fascinating history rooted in exploration and a love for rare gems, driven by the passion of its founder. Back in the day, Charles and his gem experts not only showed the world brand-new gemstones but also played a big role in making Tiffany & Co. a famous jeweler worldwide. One such gem introduced by Tiffany in 1968 is tanzanite, known for its beautiful blue color and named after Tanzania, where it comes from. Tiffany’s collection also boasts centuries- old favorites like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, all of top-notch quality. Symbol of Love Charles Tiffany was the first jeweler to make diamond rings a symbol of love. In 1886, he created the Tiffany Setting which became a world-famous engagement ring. For over 130 years, this ring has been a part of many incredible love stories. This innovation didn’t just make Tiffany & Co. a jewelry store, it turned it into a place known for classic designs, amazing craftsmanship, and celebrating love. | January 2024 42

• Easy to navigate, even easier to customize and optimize: I found Greenhouse very versatile. If you conduct high- volume recruitments, you can utilize templates and make copies of previous requisitions to streamline what could be a very administrative process. At the same time, Greenhouse has awesome features for creating a personalized candidate experience, and I've had candidates share that they love the DEIB features (voice pronunciation recording, pronouns, and more!). Greenhouse continues to implement new features that streamline existing manual processes I followed, I like the new 24-hour interview reminder! Great ATS System: I like how easy the greenhouse is to use. It allows me to easily manage my positions and candidates. I can set reminders to follow up with candidates and easily keep track of where candidates are in the interview process with the "Pipeline" tab on roles. Greenhouse also makes it easy to find and pull data for all different parts of the process from time in stage to pass- through rates. It allows you to build custom reports and save them making it easy to keep track of any data you may need. I would recommend Greenhouse to other companies as their ATS tool as it is something that has worked very well for myself and our recruiting team. • www.theenterpriseworld.com | 49
