Benjamin Gleason

I'm co-founder of fintech Kamino, that provides an innovative financial management software with embedded B2B payments, designed for medium-sized companies in Brazil. We provide efficiency for controllers and financial managers by automating accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank reconciliation processes. In 2021, I sold to PicPay the startup I co-founded and ran for nearly a decade: Guiabolso, a fintech that was a pioneer in the Open Banking space in Brazil, raising over $80M and launching innovative B2C & B2B solutions to help over 6M users improve their economic well-being and acquire better financial products. I'm also an active angel investor/mentor via Beta Ventures and an Endeavor Entrepreneur. Previously, I was CFO & Managing Director of Groupon LatAm and prior to that Engagement Manager at McKinsey. An American living in Sao Paulo for the last 15 years, I majored in Economics and hold an MBA from Wharton. I've worked all over the world and lived in Brazil, the US, France and Chile. Passionate about developing disruptive solutions in fintech, supporting the LatAm startup ecosystem, and delivering social impact.
