08/27/2009Carlos Dolabella – CEO Challenge World Champion, and World’s Fittest CEO®CEO Challenges is the world leader in sport competitions for CEOs, and once each year, hosts the CEO Challenge World Championship to find out who is the ‘best of the best’. This year the Championship was held in conjunction with the USA National Triathlon Championship in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on August 22. CEOs were required to pre-qualify for the event, either by posting triathlon times under 2:30, or winning a previous CEO Challenge event.
After a highly competitive race, it was Carlos Dolabella, partner and CFO of First Class Rent a Car in Miami, who bested the field to win in 2 hours 12 minutes for the Olympic distance course (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run). Since triathlon requires incredible fitness in three sports, CEO Challenges grants the title of Fittest CEO® to the winner of its World Championship each year. Therefore, as champion of this year’s event, Carlos Dolabella has earned the exclusive title of World’s Fittest CEO®!
