MARCOS DESSAUNE studied Classical Music in his early years. In 1986, he was appointed the sole representative for, and later the Brazilian sales director of the 194-year-old Austrian piano manufacturer Bösendorfer. This is a brand with a rich tradition, of high quality and of high cost that imbued in him a strong customer orientation, while fostering his interest in developing effective customer service programs in Brazil, where he launched, promoted and marketed Bösendorfer's exclusive products for 14 years with success recognized even by the Austrian government.

At that time, MARCOS DESSAUNE also worked as international musical producer collaborating with artists such as Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim and Oscar Peterson, while partnering projects with IBM Brazil, Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and the governments of Vienna and of Austria.
