He served as VP of Marketing & Sales, then as VP of Customer Operations from 2003, before being appointed VP of Planning, Treasury & Investor Relations in 2007, playing a key role in the company’s Nasdaq initial public offering that year. In 2011, he was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of MercadoLibre, a role he held for more than twelve years, during which the company grew into one of Latin America’s largest technology and fintech platforms, reaching a market capitalisation of approximately US$100 billion. Pedro joined dLocal in August 2023 as Co-Chief Executive Officer, becoming standalone Chief Executive Officer in 2024, a role he holds today.
