PALMETTO, FL, April 02, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fabio Marques has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Marques has established a distinguished career spanning more than three decades, marked by significant achievements in leadership, consulting, and professional speaking. As the chief executive officer and global keynote speaker at Fabio Marques Company since 1996, he has dedicated his expertise to serving mostly mid-size and large corporations. His work focuses on helping clients organize their companies, drive business growth, enhance sales, and create lasting value.

Recognized for his ability to lead people and develop high-performing teams, Mr. Marques engages directly with clients to understand their challenges and design tailored projects that facilitate expansion. He also conducts weekly group calls with the Magna Influence Club for small businesses, hosts mastermind sessions for entrepreneurs, and delivers masterclasses to guide smaller enterprises through growth phases toward larger-scale success.

In 2024, Mr. Marques assumed the role of CEO Board Leader and business advisor in the Greater Tampa Bay Area, where he continues to guide peers and organizations toward excellence.

Since 2022, he has served as the keynote speaker on sales excellence for the South Florida Speakers' Bureau, sharing his insights on value selling and value creation, areas in which he is widely regarded as an expert.

Mr. Marques' leadership extends to his presidency of the International Excellence Society, beginning in 2016, where he also serves as a keynote speaker specializing in fostering excellence in leadership, sales, and services.

His influence as a professional speaker is underscored by over 20,000 hours on stage worldwide, addressing topics around value building, value selling, and value management. Notably, in 2019, he became the first person from Latin America to receive an extraordinary ability visa for business consulting and professional speaking.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Marques held pivotal roles at Alcon Surgical in Brazil. Hired as a Technical Advisor in May of 1991, he was appointed head of the Medical Equipment business unit shortly thereafter, at just 20 years old. That business unit was facing potential closure due to sustained losses of millions of dollars annually over seven years. Through empowering leadership and innovative management strategies, Mr. Marques achieved a financial turnaround within six months, reaching break-even. Within three years, the unit became the most profitable in Latin America and ranked third globally for Alcon.

Building on this remarkable turnaround, at just 23 years old, Mr. Marques was recognized as the youngest award-winning executive in the company's history, receiving the Top Executive of the Year award in 1993. His innovative management approach quickly garnered attention, leading to invitations to share his strategies across Latin America and the United States.

Prior to these accomplishments, Mr. Marques served as a Field Services Specialist for IBM in São Paulo between 1990 and 1991, and as a Technical Sales Representative for Siemens in Greater São Paulo from 1988 to 1990. Among his notable milestones as a technician is being the first to sell and install an Excimer Laser for ophthalmic surgery in Latin America.

Throughout his career, Mr. Marques has been recognized for helping companies double, triple, or even decuple their revenues and profits through strategic consulting engagements. He values enduring client relationships and cultivates ongoing partnerships with several companies for 5, 10, 15, and even 20 years, helping them navigate change and build sustainable growth.

Mr. Marques' professional affiliations demonstrate his dedication to advancing industry standards and supporting fellow speakers. Since 2020, he has served on the board of the National Speakers Association. First, for the South Florida chapter (known as the Florida Speakers Association), where he served as the vice-president from 2020 to 2022. Then, for the Central Florida chapter of the National Speakers Association, where he has served as the director of the Speakers Mastermind and mentor of the Speakers Academy since 2023, and as president-elect and president since 2025. In addition, he is an active member of the Global Speakers Federation.

Mr. Marques' academic background includes an associate degree in electrical engineering from Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo in 1988, followed by a Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from Universidade São Judas Tadeu in 1995. He further honed his expertise through an extension program in strategic management of customer services at the University of California, Berkeley, completed in 1998, and later pursued coursework toward a Master of Business Administration at FIA Universidade de São Paulo, in 2006-2007.

In addition to his formal education, Mr. Marques has pursued a range of certifications and training that have enhanced his professional expertise. He earned the Certified Professional Facilitator designation from Thunderbird School of Global Management and the Insights Discovery Assessments certification from Insights, both in 2019.

Guided by a steadfast commitment to making a meaningful impact, Mr. Marques emphasizes integrity and authenticity as the foundations of success. He believes that true influence comes from being genuine and leading with purpose, rather than trying to emulate others. By staying true to oneself, individuals not only achieve personal growth but also inspire and positively impact those around them, fostering a culture of authenticity and value-driven leadership.

Mr. Marques' civic engagement reflects his dedication to giving back to the community. Since 2021, he has served as the founding director of ICSA Latinoamérica – Asociación de Servicio al Cliente en Latinoamérica. He has also volunteered as a motivational speaker for several charity organizations, including Kids In Distress, in the United States, in 2020, and Associação Projov – Programa Rotário Para Jovens, in Brazil, since 2005, where he has inspired and empowered thousands of teenagers to transform their lives.

Mr. Marques' professional achievements have been recognized with numerous awards and honors. These include The World's Most Influential Keynote Speakers to Watch by The Empire Magazine in 2026, 15 Top Quality Awards in Brazil, The Best Keynote Speaker at COPANAD (Panamerican Congress of Business Management) in 1998, among others.

Beyond formal accolades, Mr. Marques has made significant contributions through creative and educational projects. He is the creator and host of the talk show "Fabulous With Fabio," launched in 2022, where he profiles fabulous entrepreneurs and experts making a difference. Besides his books "Fabulous Management Simplified," "Effective Value Selling," "Magna Influência em Vendas" and "Guia Prático da Excelência em Serviços," published in English and Portuguese, he is also the author of training programs and influential concepts like the "PIB Selling," the "CAVAR Business Relationship Model," the "MAGNA Influence Blueprint" and the "Handy Success Formula," among many others. His 2022 publication, "Fabulous Management Simplified," further exemplifies his commitment to delivering practical strategies that help organizations increase profits while enhancing experiences for all stakeholders.

In his personal life, Mr. Marques enjoys sports in general, especially basketball, surfing, and martial arts, having practiced Judo, Karate, Kung-Fu, and finally Taekwondo, a pursuit he began in 2010, earning the Pan-American Champion title in Chile in 2012. But above all, Fabio values spending time with his family.

Looking ahead, he aims to be recognized as a top expert in ethical influence, a goal that inspired him to write works such as "Fabulous Management Simplified," "Effective Value Selling" and "The Magna Influence Blueprint," focusing on effective management practices and delivering real value within organizations.
