Married and father of three, Leonardo Schunemann is an entrepreneur driven by purpose, integrity, and results. After years working for third-party companies — and having been a partner in one of them — he built solid experience in business development, client acquisition, and strategic relationship management.
In his last partnership, Leonardo was responsible for attracting new clients and significantly increasing the company’s revenue. However, he faced a challenging experience when his trust was broken by a business partner — a turning point in his personal and professional journey. From that moment, he decided to build his own project, based on strong values and complete independence.
That’s how GWM was born — a company 100% focused on ship waste removal, created without any kind of favoritism or family ties with agencies. GWM’s growth is the direct result of ethical, transparent, and relentless work.
Today, the company is recognised in the market and serves more than 50 shipowners, with daily operations in Brazil’s main ports. It is highly recommended by many of its clients and partners.
Leonardo believes success is built through long-lasting relationships, commitment to excellence, and respect for the environment. With this vision, he leads GWM — aiming to be a national benchmark in its sector and a true example of purposeful leadership.
