BRUSSELS: CIVIL DIPLOMAT RITA DE CÁSSIA ROCHA SELECTED FOR GLOBAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2026

Civil Diplomat Rita de Cássia Rocha has been selected as a recipient of the Global Excellence Awards 2026 in Brussels, Belgium.

The international recognition highlights her work across business leadership, strategic partnerships, innovation and economic development, particularly between Africa, Brazil and Europe.

Rita is President and CEO of Wayne Angola, where her leadership connects international business opportunities with Angola’s industrial and economic development. Her work also promotes collaboration, investment and stronger institutional relationships.

Wayne Angola is also a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, reinforcing its commitment to responsible business practices and sustainable development.

Leadership with international impact

Over the years, Civil Diplomat Rita de Cássia Rocha has built a career focused on creating connections between companies, institutions, investors and emerging markets.

Alongside business development, she has advocated women’s leadership and a more inclusive approach to economic growth. Her international activities reflect a vision in which partnerships can generate opportunities beyond national borders.

The recognition in Brussels therefore marks another international chapter in a career closely connected with Angola and its growing role in global business.
