Bruno Loiola

Yo, you gotta hear about Bruno Loiola. This guy’s the real deal in the fintech world, especially in Brazil. So, he’s a co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Pluggy, yeah, that fintech startup in São Paulo that’s basically the Plaid of Brazil. They jumped into Y Combinator’s S21 batch, which is no joke, that’s where the big boys hang out.

Bruno’s been around the block, man. Over ten years of hands-on experience in banking, M&A, tech adoption, business consulting, you name it. Before Pluggy, he was running the show at places like Unilever Brasil, Bono Pneus, Liquidae, and even PayCommerce. Dude’s been in leadership roles, pushing products, shaking up how things are done. Basically, he’s seen the inner workings of big companies and startups alike, and knows how to make shit happen.

What’s crazy is, Bruno’s got this solid academic background too, an MBA from IE Business School and a Computer Science degree from UFSCar. That combo? It’s like having the business brain and the tech skills in one package. No wonder he crushed it with Pluggy, using all that experience to shape the product and operations to fit Brazil’s crazy financial system.

Now, here’s the kicker, his process isn’t just about building another fintech. It’s about solving real problems in Brazil’s open banking scene. Bruno saw the gap, understood the problems, and jumped into the deep end to create something that actually moves the needle. His story is about taking all his past roles, his education, his hustle, and turning it into a big change. That’s what makes him so interesting. He’s not just another guy chasing a startup dream; he’s building something that’s gonna impact millions of lives in Brazil.

So yeah, Bruno Loiola, he’s the guy who’s been in the trenches, understanding banking, tech, and business, and now he’s using all that to shake up Brazil’s finance world. No Cap, he’s the real deal.
