In developing countries characterized by economic inequality, scaling up a profitable quick commerce company can be possible due to the combination of low-cost logistics and high-margin baskets. However, the challange is replicating this success in developed markets like mid-EU, UK & USA. It requires a different approach in people management and a significantly more sophisticated courier optimization algorithm to maintain efficiency and profitability in a more competitive and costly environment.

A Publicidade chegou aos chatbots que utilizam Inteligência Artificial. "Rufus, Amazon’s recently launched, shopping-focused chatbot, is getting ads soon. That’s according to a changelog published by Amazon this week (first spotted by AdWeek), which states that sponsored ads could soon start appearing in placements for Rufus users in the U.S. Ads will be shown based on Amazon search and conversational context, Amazon says, and Rufus may generate text to accompany existing ad copy in certain cases." #ads #digital #digitalbusiness #publicidade https://lnkd.in/dq9QXx2b

If you aspire to have an International Career, here are 5 cultural differences in the "ways of working" that I experienced in the USA. I usually share these with my clients to minimize the cultural impact in the workplace and thought it would be helpful to share it here. As a Brazilian, I know that we are consumers of American brands and products and we have a feeling of familiarity and cultural proximity, but our daily lives are very different. Tag someone here who is coming to the USA so they don't get surprised. #internationalcareer #culture #expat #career #awareness

Turning Adversity into Action: Clutch's Commitment to our Community 🇧🇷 🇺🇸 - GoFundMe (https://lnkd.in/dCSZcP7w) Campaign. At Clutch, our mission has always been to turn Credit Unions into FinTechs, ensuring our Credit Union partners remain their Members' first choice. To achieve this, we strategically built our software engineering team in Latin America, where our founders' parents were born and raised. On April 27th, Southern Brazil, home to many of our teammates, faced unprecedented flooding, causing significant losses and rivaling in devastation Hurricane Katrina. Thankfully, our team remained safe and resilient, continuing to meet Clutch's commitments while volunteering to assist those in need. 💜 To support our teammates and their communities, Clutch contributed $50,000 of company capital, allowing our teammates and their communities to allocate the funds for maximum impact. Inspired by the support from our Credit Union friends, Clutch has partnered with SOU Cloud (https://sou.cloud/) to support Projeto Renascer (Project Rebirth - https://lnkd.in/dNkGE-ip). This initiative aims to directly aid families affected by the floods, providing R$10,000 (approximately $2,000) to each family for essential items and support. Key Points: 👉 Campaign Slogan: Families at home, parents working, children studying. 👉 Families receive R$10,000 (~$2,000) for furniture, work tools, and school materials. 👉 Items are sourced locally to stimulate the economy. 👉 Legal and accounting teams, along with Baker Tilly, ensure transparency and proper fund allocation. Should you wish to support this campaign, rest assured that 100% of the funds will be directed towards recovery efforts in Rio Grande do Sul. Your participation will make a significant difference in the lives of those affected. 💸 Donations can be made through our joint GoFundMe (https://lnkd.in/dCSZcP7w). Collectively we thrive and your support - even if just in spirit - will go a long way!

Regulation of Artificial Intelligence: An Urgent Need for Brazil. A recent survey I conducted through IDEIA shows a clear trend: over 70% of Brazilians believe it is essential to establish regulations for artificial intelligence (AI). This survey, reflecting growing awareness of AI's impacts, underscores the urgent need for a robust and effective regulatory framework to ensure the ethical and safe use of this emerging technology. I want to share with you some crucial factors from this research: 1. Protection of User Rights: AI regulation helps protect individual rights, ensuring that their information is used ethically and responsibly. 2. Safe Innovation: Clear standards encourage innovation within safe limits, promoting the development of AI solutions that benefit society without compromising security. 3. Bias Reduction: Establishing rigorous criteria for AI development and implementation can help reduce biases, promoting fairness and equity in automated decisions. An international example of such regulation is the European Union. We can learn a lot from the European Union, which is at the forefront of creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for AI. The EU AI Act sets strict criteria for identifying and mitigating risks associated with complex systems, requiring developers to meet stringent safeguards before bringing their technologies to market. This type of regulation is essential to ensure that AI models are safe and ethical. So, what is the best path for Brazil? I believe that in Brazil, following examples of international legislation can be an effective way to ensure that AI use is beneficial and safe. It is essential for policymakers, companies, and civil society to work together to develop a regulatory framework that reflects Brazilian needs and values. The IDEIA survey, coordinated by me, highlights a clear consensus: AI regulation is necessary not only to mitigate risks but also to foster a responsible innovation environment. Implementing well-defined standards can ensure that AI positively contributes to society, promoting technological advances that respect and protect individual rights. Let's continue this conversation about how we can shape a safer and fairer future with artificial intelligence. Share your opinions in the comments!

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being one of the speakers on the career panel at the Summit Mulheres de Sucesso. 🎤✨ During my session, I shared a personal journey that I believe is essential for success: authenticity is our greatest asset. Each of us brings a unique value to what we do. Even if we don’t have all the answers, what we possess is irreplaceable, as it’s shaped by our natural strengths and the experiences we’ve gathered throughout life. 🌱🌍 The leadership I’ve developed is built on inclusion and humanization, which goes beyond simply promoting diversity within a team. True inclusion requires that every voice is heard and valued. Creativity thrives when people feel part of an environment where their opinions are respected and decisions become more effective. Inclusive organizations not only innovate more but also achieve better financial results. This is the path to transformative leadership: by recognizing each person’s value, we empower our teams to reach greater heights. 🚀 I also spoke about the importance of not being defined by labels imposed by others. This is liberating. Today, I choose where I am, not where others place me. The message I leave is clear: know the value you bring to the places you are. Our authenticity and our stories are what make us the best leaders we can be. This is the legacy I’m building, and I encourage you to do the same. 🌟👣 And you, how are you using your authenticity to lead? Share your thoughts and experiences below! 👇 #ExecutivePresence #RiseUp

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in the Bay Area, participating in some fantastic events, including Brazil at Silicon Valley. 💥 Unsurprisingly, AI remains the "talk of the town," and has been for quite some time now. 🎯 I synthesized six initial and preliminary insights into AI, both in general and within the realm of finance. These insights were drawn from my extensive reading, as well as conversations with ML specialists, founders, professors, and VCs. 🔊 I'd love to hear your thoughts on these observations. 🙂 💪 🔝 #AI #innovation #siliconvalley #future #perspectives #technology

In today's rapidly evolving world, companies must innovate to stay ahead of the game. Innovation is the driving force behind growth and competitive advantage. I recently had the privilege of delivering a lecture to two industry leaders in Brazil, InBetta and Atlas. In it, I discussed the ways in which companies can harness the power of open innovation to achieve success across their diverse endeavors. By instilling a collaborative culture and embracing external insights, companies can access a wealth of fresh ideas and perspectives, as well as new services and products. This fuels ongoing improvement and positions them at the forefront of industry developments. I am thrilled to announce that the lecture has now been made even more accessible with the recent addition of PORTUGUESE SUBTITLES, thanks to the dedicated efforts of InBetta and Atlas. This inclusion ensures that a wider audience can now benefit from the valuable discussions on innovation strategies. Thank you!
