Synchronization Context

Syncing between Moscow and Rio de Janeiro is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Moscow Business Pulse

  • Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.

Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

  • Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
