Turning Adversity into Strength, Inspiring Leaders Worldwide
CYPRESS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2025 / A Journey of Resilience and Leadership
Jose Pereira's name is synonymous with resilience, leadership, and transformation. With over 35 years of corporate leadership experience in the oil and gas industry, Pereira's career reached the highest levels as the CEO of Citgo Petroleum. However, his life took a dramatic and unforeseen turn when he was unjustly detained in Venezuela for 1,775 days as part of the CITGO6 - a group of American executives wrongfully imprisoned due to political conflict.
Emerging from nearly five years of captivity, Pereira refused to let hardship define him. Instead, he transformed adversity into a mission, launching JoseConnect.com, a coaching, speaking, and leadership consulting platform designed to help individuals and organizations overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead with unwavering purpose.

His 4X Tools to Unleash Your Unbreakable Leadership Spirit provide actionable strategies for developing resilience, leading with confidence, and turning obstacles into stepping stones for success.
A Leader, Speaker, and Advocate
Beyond corporate leadership, Pereira is a dedicated advocate for hostage recovery efforts, working with organizations that support families of hostages and wrongfully detained individuals. He actively serves as a Board Member of Greenway International and Conscious Capitalism, championing ethical leadership and sustainable business practices.
His faith and commitment to service are central to his life. As a service leader in his Christian church, Intimidad con Dios, Pereira empowers individuals spiritually and personally, ensuring that leadership isn't just about professional success - it's about making a meaningful impact on the world.
