Sinqia announces C-level executives and new names for the Board of Directors
By Edlyn Cardoza
Sinqia, one of the largest providers of technology and innovation for the Brazilian financial sector, has started a new phase. Since 2005, it has been executing a consolidation strategy that has resulted in industry leadership after 23 acquisitions. In addition to its results and growth records in recent years, the Company achieved a new level, reinforcing now the executive board and the board of directors.
The company recently announced the arrival of João Carlos Bolonha as Chief Product, People, Technology, and Sales Officer. With 25 years of experience in technology, he served on Google’s executive board for 5 years, where he was responsible for the Cloud platform in Latin America. He played an important role in the development of the cloud services offered. Bolonha was also previously with Microsoft for 6 years.
“Sinqia is no doubt the biggest technology company for the financial sector and could become even bigger in the coming years. I was on the Board of Directors and participated in steering its growth. Now, I come to contribute to this new phase, looking for new opportunities”, comments João Carlos Bolonha, Chief Product, People, Technology, and Sales Officer.
Another important move that took place this year in May was the new position of Chief Strategy, Financial, and Investor Relations Officer, headed by Thiago Rocha. Rocha joined Sinqia in 2012 and had the opportunity to lead: 3 equity offerings, 2 debenture offerings, and 18 acquisitions.
Two new names were also announced to boost Sinqia’s Board of Directors: Carolina Strobel, a former COO with Redpoint Ventures, and Gustavo Roxo, who founded 39A, a Venture Capital company for digital companies and businesses.
The company processes billions of transactions daily, services the main institutions in the Brazilian financial sector, and belongs to a select group listed on B3’s Novo Mercado.
