I’m excited to share that I’ve accepted the invitation to join Malga’s Board of Directors as a strategic advisor.
I first met the Malga team about four years ago, back when I was still leading Vindi. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the quality of the founders and the strength of their product. During my ten years as Vindi’s CEO, I only witnessed a few true innovations in payment platforms — and Malga was one of them.
After a period of sabbatical and garden leave, I was honored when Alex Vilhena and Thiago Garuti invited me to come on board and help guide Malga’s next steps in strategy and growth.
About Malga
Founded in 2020 by Alex and Thiago, Malga is redefining how payments are processed in Brazil. Their mission is to bring technology and intelligence to the complex world of payment processing.
Brazil is one of the most competitive markets globally when it comes to payments, fraud prevention, and transaction intelligence. Malga is uniquely positioned — with the right timing, product, and team — to lead this new generation of innovation.
The company is backed by top investors, including Verve Capital, QED, Norte Ventures, Costanoa, Latitud, and IDEXO (TOTVS).
I’m truly thrilled to start this journey with Malga and contribute to shaping the future of digital payments in Brazil.
