“This is a personal decision, matured over the course of this year together with my family, in light of new life plans we have chosen to pursue together. I leave at peace and deeply grateful. At Mundo Cristão I lived the best phase of my professional journey — more than two decades of learning, purpose, and friendships, alongside a team I admire and respect,” says Fleischner.
“Over these 23 years, Renato helped shape not only processes, but people. Many of the professionals who make up the publishing house today flourished under his guidance. His leadership was always marked by competence, serenity, and genuine care for the team. We are deeply grateful for his contribution to the history of Mundo Cristão and wish him and his family the greatest blessings in this new chapter,” says Mark Carpenter, President and CEO of Mundo Cristão.
The transition is being conducted in a planned and careful manner, ensuring the continuity of the publisher’s operations and strategic projects. Fleischner will continue to collaborate with the company as needed throughout this period. Mundo Cristão remains steadfast in its mission and prepared for the next steps, sustained by a solid editorial proposition, a strong presence in the main sales channels, a growing digital operation, and a highly qualified team.
Editora Mundo Cristão expresses its deep gratitude for Renato’s contribution over more than two decades and wishes him and his family God’s richest blessings in this new chapter. We will remain united by friendship and gratitude.
