Congratulations to Open Co Co-Founder and CEO Rafael Pereira, who was named to Financial Technology's list of top 50 CEOs. This year’s awardees are some of the most accomplished leaders in the fintech sector, many of whom have led their companies through significant capital raises, often doubling or tripling their companies’ valuations as they expand into new geographic areas and develop new products. As the financial technology industry continues its meteoric growth, these CEOs are poised to remain at the forefront, providing secure, accessible, and powerful financial services for the consumers and enterprises they serve.
As CEO, Pereira brings with him many years of expertise in building companies from the ground up in the fintech sector. At the age of 11 he learned how to program C and has since developed a talent for building great teams and creating successful companies. Previously he co-founded the data, tech, and analytics-driven online platform, Rebel, which would eventually be spun into Open Co. Before that, Pereira spent over four years as president of ABCD (Associação Brasileira de Crédito Digital). Pereira received a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and his Master of Business Administration degree from Columbia University.
