We are very proud to announce that key executives of two of our clients – Eduardo Del Guerra Prota, from N26, and Rodrigo Cury, from BTG Pactual – won the prestigious Prêmios Inovadores Financeiros das Américas.
The awards recognise and honour the innovative financial services these banks built with the Pismo Pismo under the leadership of their respective executives.
