I am an executive with 17 years of extensive experience in both law firms (Veirano Advogados and Albino Advogados) and in-house counsel roles (Fox Channels and Hash Payments), among others. I currently serve as Head of Legal for South America at Revolut, overseeing legal operations across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring consistency, regulatory compliance, and strategic alignment with Revolut’s global legal and business objectives. Over the past 7 years, I have focused on the fintech sector, playing a key role in structuring and developing the financial and payments industries in Brazil. I have actively participated in discussions with the Federation of Banks (FEBRABAN), the Card Brand Networks (ABECS), the Interbank Payments Chamber (CIP), and engaged with the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB) on topics such as open finance, fast payments, interoperability, and the centralized registration of receivables (B3, CERC, TAG, and Nuclea/CIP).
