GEVIS Angola Names Civil Diplomat Rita de Cássia Rocha a Prémios Jovens 360° – Angola 2026 Honoree for Leadership and International Impact.

The recognition highlights a leadership journey shaped by strategic vision, international experience and a strong connection with Angola.

The awards ceremony will take place on September 12, 2026, at the Hotel Epic Sana in Luanda. Rita will be honored during the event’s second edition.

Leadership that creates opportunities

For more than 25 years, Rita has worked across Africa, Latin America and Europe. Her experience includes strategic negotiations, business development and leadership in emerging markets.

However, the significance of her work goes beyond corporate positions.

Through her leadership, Rita has connected people, companies and opportunities while supporting business development and international cooperation. Angola has remained central to that journey.

As Executive Leader and Board Member of Wayne Angola, she has also helped place international experience at the service of opportunities connected with the country’s development.

Her approach to leadership emphasizes something equally important: progress should create space for others to advance.

In announcing the recognition, Rita dedicated the honor to her family, teams, partners, women and entrepreneurs who have shared her journey.

That perspective gives the recognition a broader meaning. Leadership, in her view, does not end with professional achievement. It also involves opening possibilities for other people.

Prémios Jovens 360° celebrates multidimensional leadership

GEVIS Angola created the Prémios Jovens 360° around a broader understanding of achievement.

In presenting Rita among the 2026 honorees, the organization highlighted different dimensions of her trajectory. These include leadership, entrepreneurship, strategy, mentoring and international experience.

The concept behind the recognition looks beyond a professional title. Instead, it considers how knowledge, persistence and leadership can influence different sectors, markets and generations.

For institutional and humanitarian networks, this approach carries particular relevance. Sustainable influence depends not only on individual achievement, but also on the opportunities leaders help create around them.

Angola at the heart of Rita de Cássia Rocha’s journey

Angola holds a central place in Rita’s professional and personal story.

Her work reflects a long-term commitment to the country, alongside an international perspective developed through decades of activity across different markets.

Therefore, the recognition from GEVIS Angola carries significance beyond another distinction in her career. It reflects the impact of leadership rooted in experience and directed toward future opportunities.

As a Civil Diplomat, Rita de Cássia Rocha represents a form of leadership that connects professional excellence with responsibility toward people and communities.

Her recognition at the Prémios Jovens 360° – Angola 2026 celebrates that trajectory. More importantly, it highlights what her leadership continues to make possible for others.
