Here’s a timeline of the journey of Elite Smart Group:

From Humble Beginnings to Bold Dreams

Leonardo’s journey began far from the bright lights of New York and Miami, in a small town in Brazil. Growing up, life was filled with challenges that taught him the value of hard work, resilience, and determination. From a young age, Leonardo worked tirelessly to support his family, learning early on that success is built on the foundation of perseverance.

A Leap of Faith

With dreams of a better future, Leonardo took a bold leap, leaving behind his home and family to start anew in the United States. Arriving with little more than hope and determination, he faced the struggles of adapting to a new country, working multiple jobs, learning a new language, and navigating a foreign landscape—all while staying true to his purpose: to create a better life for those he loved.

Discovering a Passion for Technology

Leonardo’s passion for technology emerged during these early years in the U.S. He saw firsthand how innovative solutions could simplify lives and transform everyday experiences. This passion became his driving force, leading him to pursue opportunities in the tech world and, ultimately, to start his own venture.

The Birth of Elite Smart Group

Founded with the vision of bringing cutting-edge technology to homes and businesses, Elite Smart Group was born out of Leonardo’s desire to make a difference. From the start, it wasn’t just about the technology—it was about creating seamless, personalized experiences that enhance the way people live and work. Today, Elite Smart Group specializes in smart home automation, advanced security systems, energy efficiency solutions, and more, delivering unparalleled service and innovative designs to clients across New York, Miami, and beyond.

Our Values: Integrity, Innovation, and Commitment

Leonardo’s personal journey deeply influences the values that drive Elite Smart Group. Integrity, hard work, and a commitment to excellence are at the heart of everything we do. These principles guide our team as we strive to deliver not just the latest technology, but also an unwavering dedication to our clients’ satisfaction.

Looking Ahead: Building the Future of Smart Living

Elite Smart Group has grown from a dream into a leading provider of smart solutions, completing major projects that showcase our expertise and dedication to quality. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, leading the way in smart home and business technology, and empowering our clients to live smarter, safer, and more connected lives.
