As the highest-ranking woman at Brazil’s largest publishing empire, Editora Abril, Elda Muller gets the coveted corner office on the 13th floor.
She’s the only woman on the editorial council for the multi-million dollar company, which distributes millions of magazines every month and employs 900 journalists.

“I have been very successful in my career,” says Muller, who became the company’s first female supervisor in 2000 and has worked with the organization for 33 years.
Here, she tells Little PINK Book the secret to working with all those men, her biggest career risks and how 40 days on an ashram made her a better leader.
PINK: What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken in your career?
EM: When you launch a new title, you’re not sure if it’s going to work. You never know what’s going to happen, but life is risky. I’m a big believer in intuition and listening to instincts. It’s important to stop and listen to your heart. It sounds a little naïve, but I think it’s necessary.
PINK: What’s your success secret?
EM: I work with the best journalists. They have a lot of things I don’t have. But I have perspective. I can connect things. I am alert and understand what to do at this moment. This is my secret – consciousness. Humankind needs more of it and more compassion. Then we’ll make choices that are more sustainable.
