Miguel Armaza travels to Sao Paulo for an interview with Eduardo Chedid, CEO of PicPay, a Brazilian fintech giant that has quietly become one of the most important financial companies in Latin America.

With 60 million customers and handling 11% of all Pix payments transactions in Brazil, PicPay has achieved profitability while maintaining hyper-growth—posting 61% revenue growth and 7× higher profits in 2024.

In this episode, we discuss:

How PicPay transformed from a digital wallet into a multi-product financial platform
The power of business unit autonomy and prioritizing top talent acquisition
Building a two-sided ecosystem that serves both consumers and businesses with separate monetization strategies
Why Brazilian market volatility creates resilient managers and how to avoid the "incumbent trap"... and lots more!
